This Track is no longer available at the moment, but will be part of Mr Stormy's Monday Selection Volume 8 His Seventh year of treasures from the murky, cavernous DGM archives, are now available in Full Flac Fidelity

Alex Mundy has blown the dust off the multi-tracks for Lizard and provided us with a solo performance from Keith Tippett. By isolating and editing Keith’s final take on Prince Rupert Awakes, we hear the piece anew. With the spaces usually reserved for the vocals now removed and all the piano sections sewn together, a yearning ballad trickles from Tippett’s fingers. With all the other instruments stripped away, we hear the microphones at Wessex pick up Keith humming along to his own playing as the music moves into the dramatic chord work of the final section. You’ve heard Prince Rupert Awake before but never quite like this.

Prince Rupert Awakes
This is a gorgeous solo piano recording played by Keith Tippett. Through some kind of electronic wizardry process it has been isolated from the other instruments on the track, so that Mr. Tippett is the only one heard. The general theme of many comments - even by the artists themselves - is that the Lizard album somehow is an inferior project, that it is musically disorganized, that it generally is unworthy, etc. Recently listening to it again, it struck me just how wonderful, psychotic and amaz...
