Robert Ashley - Perfect Lives (Private Parts): The Bar (LP) (Very Good Plus (VG+))

Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)
Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

one of the key American experimental music/theatre works of its era. “The Bar” blends Ashley’s hypnotic spoken/sung narration with Blue Gene Tyranny’s flowing keyboards and Kris’ tabla, creating a strange, minimal and dreamlike mix of avant-garde opera, spoken word, electronic composition and off-kilter lounge atmosphere
 

Notes:

Perfect Lives - An opera in seven episodes
"The Bar" is episode four: 
Rodney, the bartender, meets Buddy, the piano player.

This performance of "The Bar" was composed and produced in collaboration with "Blue" Gene Tyranny and Peter Gordon.
