Subject: Who the hell is Laraaji? And what's that to do with Beefheart?
Keywords: Laraaji Eno Beefheart

Organization: MIT Media Lab, Cambridge, MA
Youse folks seem to be up on the Eno clique. So am I, but I have yet to be able to figure out who this guy Laraaji is. S/He turned up as the creator of Ambient 3: A Day of Radiance. Then? I have perused More Dark Than Shark, with little luck. I can find no other recordings or mentions. Wanna clue me in? I love this record early on Saturday Mornings, after I've been up all night, etc. Also, playing it right after listening to Steve Reich is enchanting. (I think it's more complex, more melodic, and I like it better.) Requiring minds need to know........................................bc ps. Let me extend my offer to readers of this newsgroup: By lucky accident, I got a copy of Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica which contained a lyrics sheet. If you want a copy, send an SASE (or whatever is easiest for me to mail, for you overseas folks (better include instructions!)) and some little bit of interesting stuff, say a piece of clip art, or lyrics to some other abstruse song or album (if you wish, not required), to: Unconditionally Guaranteed Trout Mask Replica Decals Offer c/o Bill Coderre 20 ames e15-468 cambridge ma 02139 usa (BTW, please privately flame me if you dislike my offer. Frankly, since this is a valuable document which is unavailable only because reissues usually omit such niceties, I have no bad feelings about offering it out.) See my last post to rec.music.misc if you want some of the words to one of the songs.
