Flamingo Tower/Flamingo Pink Vinyl

Description

After the acclaimed 7171, Monde UFO takes us into the mysteries of Flamingo Tower. Hidden in the shadows of the vibrant music scene in Los Angeles, this enigmatic band, led by the visionary Ray Monde, fuses psychedelia and avant-garde jazz, hypnotic atmospheres, and passages reminiscent of forgotten library music. Amplifying their quest for musical chaos, Flamingo Tower transcends their initial quirky exoticism to dive into atmospheric sound waves inspired by an eclectic mix of Arto Lindsay, Khan Jamal (Drum Dance To The Motherland), Keith Hudson, Milford Graves, Marion Brown, Don Cherry, and Lennie Tristano. Infused with numerology and punctuated by strange quasi-religious references, the album vibrates with a background hum, over which intimate melodies and fascinating sound illusions are layered: a synthetic orchestration in a baroque pop style, a self-destructing guitar, and the narrative whispers of Ray Monde. An evocative album for fans of bold music, dotted with sonic gems and enigmatic digital sequences that infiltrate even the track titles.
