Our Take
Our Take
In the twisted world of Anthony Burgess, where droogs roam the streets and Beethoven meets the Beatles, we find a treasure trove of conversations that would make even the most cultured music critic raise an eyebrow. The "Conversations With The Anthony Burgess Cassette Archives (1964-1993)" is a wild ride through the mind of a man who was not only a literary genius, but a musical virtuoso as well.
From discussing the intricacies of his own compositions to dissecting the latest punk albums of the 70s, Burgess leaves no stone unturned in these candid recordings. One moment he's waxing poetic about the beauty of Mozart, the next he's railing against the commercialism of the music industry with a fiery passion that would make Johnny Rotten proud.
But it's not all high-brow intellectualism and anti-establishment fervor. Burgess's cheeky sense of humour shines through in every conversation, whether he's poking fun at his own musical shortcomings or recounting the time he met Mick Jagger at a dinner party.
Overall, "Conversations With The Anthony Burgess Cassette Archives (1964-1993)" is a must-listen for fans of both Burgess and music in general. It's a captivating glimpse into the mind of a true Renaissance man, and a reminder that sometimes the most interesting conversations happen when the tape is rolling.
