Obscure Records - the label founded by Brian Eno in 1975 to document music operating at the edges of the contemporary classical and experimental fields - produced ten LPs before closing in 1978, each one a carefully considered act of cultural curation. This fifth release in the series pairs John Cage's vocal works with those of Jan Steele, an English composer whose work in the 1970s engaged with extended vocal technique and the dissolution of the boundary between speech and song. A document of the Obscure project at its most conceptually coherent, and among the rarer entries in that catalogue.
