Heathcote Williams feat. Pierre Henry - "Burn, Babylon ! Burn !" (Revelations/Apocalypse 18)

This is the 18th chapter of the prophetic book of revelations
(the last book in the Bible, also known as "Apocalypse"
which means "revelation" in greek,
see here for the text ► biblehub.com/kjv/revelation/18.htm)
as narrated by Heathcote Williams
(the audio record is available here : itunes.apple.com/en/audiobook/...ine/id401784593 )

Heathcote Williams' latest book, “Royal Babylon – The Case Against the Monarchy” is out now! :

The music in the 1st part is based on samples that I borrowed
from Pierre Henry's own far-out "musique concrète) rendition of the same prophetic text
which was released as "Apocalypse de Jean" in 1968,
(the music is available here : itunes.apple.com/fr/album/lapo...ean/id726251288
more info/credits here : discogs.com/Pierre-Henry-Apoca...release/1150964 )
I composed it along with its beat in 2001 :)

I recently re-worked the mix & the instrumentation of the music in the 2nd part from the bottom up, that one is all mine, one of the first 100% sample-free tracks that I made that same year 2001 before gradually stopping my compulsive sampling of all my favorite records,
I actually played/recorded the (acoustic) alto sax in this one, it's not a "virtual" instrument played via midi keyboard :)

also, The International Times ("The Newspaper Of Resistance") is relaunching ON PAPER for the 50th year of IT, issue zero contains searing polemics, investigative journalism, satiric comics, a poem, and much more, get IT here :

IT is quite "The cowbell as a symbol of unbridled passion, ladies and gentlemen."
.. "Yes, so perverted !" ^_^ !!!!
