LORI VAMBE: SPACE-TIME DREAMTIME: THE FOUR-DIMENSIONAL MUSIC OF LORI VAMBE 2LP in Slipcase with Booklet (STRUT)
We were blown away by the Michael O’Shea reissue ALLCHIVAL delivered in 2019, his s/t album originally issued on Graham Lewis and Bruce Gibert’s DOME imprint in 1982. Purportedly Lori Vambe and O’Shea were in a band together, The Healing Drums of Brixton (alongside the sculptor Alexander Sokolov). Both were also self-taught inventors of their own instruments. Vambe was ALSO a squatter in Brixton with deep interests in his Zimbabwean heritage. This is the either the stuff of a great archival project or the first example of a ChatGPT one-sheet that hits so many points of interest, “New on Strut, the first ever reissue of Vambe’s privately pressed original albums from 1982, Drumland Dreamland and Drumgita Solo. A self-taught drummer, inventor, and sonic experimentalist, Lori Vambe is a unique figure in British music. Creator of his own instrument, the drumgita (pronounced ‘drum-guitar’) or string-drum, Vambe intended to create a kind of music that had never been made in order to pursue access to the fourth dimension.”
