The Washington Squares Polygram Ready for the next rage? With the RAB thing having passed through, and the country bandwagon nearing overload, a beatnik reviv- al should soon be in vogue. And a beginners kit is cheap. Ray-Bans, beret, and sculptured goatee will guarantee Daddy-0 status. Leading this delegation of bohemian folkies will be the Washington Squares, three ersatz beatniks who became disillusioned with the New York new wave scene. The Squares take us back to Greenwich Village of the early Sixties, when Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan and Eric Anderson were leading the folk surge. But don't expect the protest of Phil Ochs or Dylan’s lyrical prowess. The Squares stick closely to the slickly stylized arrange- ments of Peter, Paul and Mary, the fast-food folkies of the time. Funny thing is, the Squares make it work, More musically accomplished than their predecessors, they mix a '61ts sensibility with the strut and swagger of contemporary rockabilly. Rhythm guitars, three-part har- monies and infectious melodies abound. Not the real thing. maybe, but folk music has seldom been this much fun. g Soul Of The Machine Windham Hill Sampler Of New Electronic Music Windham Hill Lonely Is An Eyosore Various Artists 4AD/Polygram On a recent visit to one of Toronto's trenq "Natural Sleep Centre" (the fuilin shoii) One of the largest selections of frames available. Pine, birch, oak, maple and melamine. record stores. I had to laugh at a customer who was making some disparaging remarks about New Age music. in particular the Windham Hill label. What 1 found ironic was that this person was purchasing a record by the Cocteau Twins. So, you may ask, where's the humor in buying a Cocteau Twins record? Well, the Cocteau Twins record for the British label 4AD, a label which produces music - if given to close analysis - that doesn't differ much from what is coming off the assembly line at Windham Hill. 4AD's target market is also a fashion-com scious lot, albeit more brooding in appear- ance, what with their big black hair cuts and anti-establishment posing. While Windham Hill offers Philippe Suisse, Mitchell Forman, Colin Chin and their songs of serenity - "Peace Of Mind," "Land Of The Morning Calm," "The Lure Of Silence" - {AD gives us The Cocteau Twins Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil and some real uplifting tunes - "Crushed," "Acid, Bitter and Sad," and "Cut The Tree." With each label, listening environment is critical to achieve optimum satisfaction. The Windham Hill sampler can best be appreciat- ed in a luxury condo with plenty of sterile European decor. Try the 4AD set curled up in a dark, dank basement with a Thomas Hardy novel. A light drizzle outside wouldn't hurt and candles may be used for effect. Windham Hill is easy listening American Style jazz created in the laboratory; 4AD is the English version, just a touch harder on the senses, a sort of antithesis of punk. Windham Hill designs music for young urban professionals, terminal preppies who prefer European road sedans and who never buy an album until it's on compact disc.
