Joe Meek & The Blue Men - I Hear a New World, Valley Of the Saroos, Magnetic Field, Orbit Around The Moon and Love Dance Of The Saroos
From a 1991 expansion of the 1960 studio concept album (originally released merely as a four song EP in its original time due to apprehensions over the musicβs commercial appeal, or so I gather) βI Hear A New Worldβ, produced by the late English (From Newent, Gloucestershire) record proudcer and songwriter with the aforementioned British backing group. An early studio record, it is considered highly innovative and imaginative in its field, pioneering a mix of experimental, space-age Pop with Electronic music and elements of Rock and Roll. Joe Meek was fascinated by the space programme, believing there to be life out there on other planets. Its intentionally strange and out-there sound owes to, in Meekβs own words, his attempt βto create a picture in music of what could be up there in outer spaceβ. As such, among the exotic electronic bleeps and bloops and scattered Rock and Roll performances are interspersed with both normal and sped-up vocals, the latter sounding very much like something out of Alvin and the Chipmunks. The albumβs mixture of daring musical pursuits would go on to become an influence on the Psychedelic music movement that was to follow in the ensuing years of the 1960s.
Tragically, Meek (who was a Bipolar-Schizophrenic and a homosexual during a time when homosexual acts were considered illegal in the UK), died in 1967 in a murder-suicide; he shot the landlady of his flat using a single-barreled shotgun he confiscated from his protege Heinz Burt, after which he turned the gun on himself.
Despite any controversy, Joe Meek remains a giant in the world of Pop and Rock music many decades later for his outstanding contributions.
