No Condition Is Permanent

Pictured: Fairport Convention.

…As Dave Swarbrick, fiddle player with Fairport Convention, observed in the mid-1970s: ‘If you’re singing about a bloke having his head chopped off, or a girl fucking her brother and having a baby and the brother getting pissed off and cutting her guts open and stamping on the baby and killing his sister – now that’s a fantastic story by any standards, whether told in a pub or on Broadway. Having to work with a storyline like that with acoustic instruments wouldn’t be half as powerful or potent, dramatically, as saying the same things electrically. Because when you deal with violence, when you deal with someone slashing with a sword, say, there are sounds that exist electrically – with electric bass, say – that can very explicitly suggest what the words are saying.’

— Rob Young, Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain’s Visionary Music.
