Details
A massive coup / release for Forte Distribution: From Fluxus and performance-art pioneer and Two Virgins to chart-topping dance-music heroine (inspiring punk rock along the way), Yoko Ono has been an innovative and influential force on music and art, while simultaneously campaigning for peace on the world's stage. At 76 years young, Yoko continues to kick ass. BETWEEN MY HEAD AND THE SKY, a career-defining album made with her new Plastic Ono Band. The record is a gorgeous, mind-melting blend of styles, restating and sharpening themes while plunging into the always-mysterious future. Band includes Keigo "Cornelius" Oyamada and his bandmembers Yuko Araki and Shimmy Shimizu, Sean Lennon, Yuka Honda (of Cibo Matto) as well as NYC improvisers Erik Friedlander, Shahzad Ismaily, Michael Leonhart, Daniel Carter and Indigo Street. * Raw rockers, electronic pulse glimmers, dark late-night improvisations and heart-breaking elegiac ballads - Yoko takes a variety of textual approaches on this beautifully balanced collection of work. A career-defining album by one of contemporary culture's reigning geniuses. Super deluxe double vinyl with DL code (on a recyclable card, impregnated with wild flower seeds!) VINYL is strictly oneway, no returns: and limtied to 1000 worldwide, we have 250 for UK, 250 for EU. 9+1 Deals on CD available to INDIE stores.
