Buffy Sainte-Marie - Illuminations
$ 15.00
An absolute trailblazer of a record. In 1969, Buffy Sainte-Marie took her deeply affecting folk songwriting and completely shattered the boundaries of the genre by incorporating early, avant-garde electronic music. Using a Buchla synthesizer to process her vocals and guitar, she created a soundscape that is haunting, psychedelic, and fiercely original. It’s a deeply spiritual and confrontational album that was years ahead of its time. The Vanguard stereo pressing allows those wild, panning electronic effects and her unmistakable vibrato to completely envelop the room.
