Boiler Room Panel: The Music of Arthur Russell

This was an opportunity we couldn’t miss. Today sees the release on the Audika label of Corn – an album of alternate versions, demos and outtakes by the late, great Arthur Russell. While for some artists, this kind of tape-mining can immediately invoke the law of diminishing returns, for Russell it’s something very different. He was an insanely productive musician but released comparatively little in his lifetime despite touching on disco, pop, country, modern classical and minimalism, always with a sense of innocent exploration born of his devout Buddhist faith – so his archives, featuring untold experiments and radically different versions of track (including, on Corn, the classic “This is how we Walk on the Moon”) are still goldmines despite several posthumous releases.
