32- North Shore News ~ Friday, March 3, 2000 Femi From Page 29 younger Bowie mentions he hikes to listen to the music of Harry Partch (1901-1974) while enjoying a tincture of cannabis from Notting Hill Gate. Partch, an American iconoclast from the same anti-mouid as Charles Ives and Conlon Nancarrow, ere- ated his own musical world based on a 43-tone to the octave scale which was to be played on invented instru- ments. His crowning achieve- ment, Delusion of the Fury (A Ritual of Dream and Delusion) was released two-record set by Columbia Masterworks in 1969 and was probably the Partch we would have fotind playing on Bowie’s turntable. The proto-Ziggy would certainly have been drawn into the Noh-like drama presented by Partch and his ensemble of musicians. Coincidentally, the tong out- -of-print disc has just been re-released on the innova label out of Minnesota. (innova Recordings, 332 Minnesota Street #E-145 St. Paul, MN 55101 USA, e-mail: ). The new CD completes innova’s 15-year project to release the entire record- ed output of Partch. In Delusion of the Fury’s ritual/theatre Partch recreates two tales, one based on classical Japanese Noh, the second working from an Ethiopian folk tale. The other-world material is per- formed on his hand-built orchestra of sculpted instru- meats. The innova series on Partch includes videos and a 528-page limited-edition scrapbook documenting his unconventional life. kek kw Shoki, Shoki — Femi Kuti (Universal MCA) Femi Kuti revives his father’s Afrobeat groove in all its glory.
