The picture supplied with this release is actually NOT the cover but
the cover of the second Galas double album that is due to be released
soon
it was included as data track on the cd so i inculded it with that
release
Biba Kopf recently wrote about La Serpenta Canta. Here is an
excerpt:
La Serpenta Canta aka The Serpent Sings, is a song recital recruiting
blues, R&B, Motown, southern soul, Country & Western and her own
"Baby's Insane" (from This Sporting Life, her duo album with John
Paul Jones) in Galßs's ongoing campaign against forgetting.
A highly inventive composer and pianist, Galßs's compelling low end
piano settings draw on her background in free jazz û overtly
acknowledged in La Serpenta Canta's version of Ornette Coleman's
"Lonely Woman" û modern composition and the electronic avant garde.
Bonded by Blind Lemon Jefferson's "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean",
which features on both sets, Defixiones and La Serpenta Canta
variously illuminate, extend and support each other's ways of
grieving. With songs like James Carr's deep soul classic "Dark End Of
The Street" (covered earlier on her duo album with John Paul Jones),
Hank Williams's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" and Screaming Jay
Hawkins's "I Put A Spell On You" bookended with John Lee Hooker's
"Burning Hell", La Serpenta Canta may start in a familiar place but
Galßs's vocal methods of interrogating the popular memory of such
songs examines each word and note from every angle, in the process
reinvesting them with the full weight of meaning and emotion that
might have been hitherto eroded through familiarity. The Supremes'
"My World Is Empty Without You" û which Galßs first assayed on her
1998 song cycle Malediction And Prayer û has never before sounded so
desolate as in her sounding of its abyssal depths here. The
songwriting team Holland-Dozier-Holland might have conceived it as a
lovers' breakup song, but in Galßs's reading, "My World Is Empty
Without You" serves as a portal to both La Serpenta's darker
companion, Defixiones, Will And Testament, and, indeed, the entire
canon of mourning music that Galßs has amassed since her 1979
international debut in a French staging of composer Globokar's Un
Jour Comme Une Autre.

We are looking for quality sites in Europe and US, to be afilliated
