Various / Classroom Projects - Incredible Music Made By Children In Schools (LP)

コンピレーション『Classroom Projects - Incredible Music Made By Children In Schools』。1959年から1977年に録音された子供達による音楽をコンパイルしたアルバムが英屈指の発掘レーベル Trunk Records より。小さな楽団が歌う全く知られていないフォーク・ソングから、前衛的、実験的とも言える現代音楽のような演奏まで不思議な魅力に溢れたコレクションです。アウトサイダー・アートとも言えるような全20曲はプリミティブな心地よい衝撃を与えてくれる内容です。
