Friday the 13th

Anvil Creations presents Ken Moore in concert Friday the 13th at Bread & Roses Coffeehouse.

Branded cassette (usually Maxell) hand labelled, comes in a standard cassette case. Covers are photocopies. Track inserts are individually hand written by Ken Moore and vary (some include more info than others, some with track durations, some not) hence no two copies are exactly the same. The track credits used here are from the simplest version,

 

Recorded live at the Bread and Roses Coffeehouse, limited edition cassette sent out to members of the Anvil Creations' mailing list, released 1980. "Half Track Machine" is a classic live performance that was only done one other time at a recital for the Electronic Music class at UMBC where I wrote the piece in 1973. There are two piano pieces that I was never able to capture well on tape: "The Sword", and "Xanthic", so just these three are worth re-releasing this once-in-a-lifetime compilation. I remember a friend of a friend coming up to me after the show and telling me: "You need to play with other people". Ken wasn't sure how to take that, but years later, it became a reality with Wayne and Ken doing some great art rock as Moore/Myers. Ken considers that time to be a milestone in his relatively unknown career as both a keyboard player AND a drummer.
