Peter Wyngarde - Music

Music

In 1970, Wyngarde recorded an album for RCA Victor entitled simply Peter Wyngarde and a single, "La Ronde De L'Amour/The Way I Cry Over You". The album was reissued on CD by the British RPM Records label as When Sex Leers Its Inquisitive Head. Unusually, Wyngarde did not deliver a set of easy listening standards but a most unusual collection of spoken word/musical arrangements.

The LP is believed to have been quickly withdrawn after its release, but has gained cult status in the intervening years. Selections are often played on XM Radio's Internet-only retro-lounge channel 79, On the Rocks.

Famous quotes containing the word music:

    “His style is eminently colloquial, and no wonder it is strange to meet with in a book. It is not literary or classical; it has not the music of poetry, nor the pomp of philosophy, but the rhythms and cadences of conversation endlessly repeated.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
    Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
    To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
    Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
    —Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    “While the music is performed, the cameras linger savagely over the faces of the audience. What a bottomless chasm of vacuity they reveal! Those who flock round the Beatles, who scream themselves into hysteria, whose vacant faces flicker over the TV screen, are the least fortunate of their generation, the dull, the idle, the failures . . .”
    —Paul Johnson (b. 1928)
