Love Of Life Orchestra • Casino


Found this rare vinyl gem on a torrent site.
Love of Life Orchestra was created by Peter Gordon (sax, keyboards, composition) and David Van Tieghem, a talented, smart-aleck avant-garde percussionist with ties to new music composer Steve Reich. Both have gone on to greater fame as elder statesmen of the downtown music scene in New York, but these early works stand as an important developmental chapter.

    Thanks. I still have Extended Niceties and Geneva on vinyl. Didn't know about this release or just don't remember it!

    Nice one. Didn't realise Bill Laswell & Fred Maher played on this. My favourite Peter Gordon albums were Innocent which was later than this 1986 I think and Otello which only came out on cassette on Roir. There is a good cd just out from Peter Gordon which is like a thirty year retrospective with some new mixes etc and has one track from Otello. It's just called Peter Gordon Love Of Life Orchestra, which is available via Amazon. Neither Casino, Innocent or Otello have ever been issued on cd. My cassette version of Otello packed up years ago, I wonder if anybody has an MP3 version?
