Time To Tell
Far Out magazine describes Cosey Fanni Tutti's 1983 album Time to Tell as "a groundbreaking sonic journey of the sex industry from the female worker’s point of view." From Far Out magazine:Time to Tell was the resulting product, a groundbreaking sonic journey of the sex industry from the female worker’s point of view. Using only the medium of sound, it manages to execute the feat of taking the listener through the emotional processes of a seemingly shameful act and makes them less untoward and more accessible. The record begins in a way you might imagine – foreboding and full of trepidation, as if at the entrance to a dark jungle underworld. But as the music progresses, we realise that the truth of the matter is actually very different.
Hmm. Just sounds like ambient music to me. Though maybe my interpretive antennae aren't fully attuned to the nuances of the music. Or maybe there was more to the album?

Magoo in Hi-Fi
Once you get past the daft spoken word bits with Mr McGoo, this gets excellent, almost avant-garde in places, with incredible work by Dennis Farnon and Marni Nixon. The Very Contrary Mary track is stunning.
