The "Cults Percussion Ensemble" CD is a rare and mesmerizing release from the enigmatic group of young musicians known as the Cults Percussion Ensemble. Originally recorded in 1979, this album showcases an extraordinary blend of experimental percussion pieces performed by schoolchildren under the guidance of music teacher John Rae. The tracks are both hypnotic and playful, featuring marimbas, xylophones, glockenspiels, and other percussive instruments that create a unique soundscape unlike anything else from its era. This reissue by Trunk Records brings to light one of the most sought-after gems in British library music history?a must-have for collectors and fans of avant-garde sounds alike.
