Sorry For Laughing - Rain Flowers [CD]

Sorry For Laughing is a project by Gordon H. Whitlow who is also a member of legendary US avantgarde collective Biota, formerly Mnemonists or Mnemonist Orchestra. Their music is a mixture of modern classical, experimental sounds, noise, industrial, avangarde, songwriting and free jazz. In 1986 Gordon H. Whitlow released a cassette under the name Sorry For Laughing: "The compositions stem from my beginning days with the avant-garde recording ensemble Biota, shortly after completion of the Bellowing Room LP." The album was re-issued on CD by Klanggalerie in 2018 and is still available. Recently, Gordon reactivated the project and changed it from a solo effort into a new supergroup.He says about 'Rain Flowers': So, we arrive again... this time, ensnared in nature's web, betrothed to tradition. In its next group installment -- Rain Flowers -- Sorry For Laughing looks out through an organic lens at a world (and a country) nearing disrepair. A love letter characterized by unexpected ironies and chance encounters. The two-disc gallery is adorned with impressionistic new pieces and more than a passing nod to history and lore, with original interpretations, some at odd angles. Add to this, a familiar voice from those halcyon days of post-punk pleasures, and the flower garden is full of psyched-out colours! Sorry For Laughing: Martyn Bates (vocals, piano, melodica, whistles), Edward Ka-Spel (vocals), Janet Feder (guitars), Gordon H. Whitlow (organs, accordion, production), Patrick Q Wright (violin, viola, strings). With Larry Wilson (drums), Tom Katsimpalis (paintings), and Bill Sharp (photography), and featuring Dave-id Busaras (vocals).
