Matthew Young debuted with the
home-made electronic music of Recurring Dreams (1981), but followed it
up with a singer-songwriter album that predated synth-folk of the 2000s:
Travel Advisory (1986).
A syncopated electronic beat and a bubbling dulcimer accompany
Todd Rundgren-ian lullaby
Objects In Mirror ;
and Dummy Line is an intellectual version of the Doors doing
Weill-style cabaret.
Complementing the songs, Young penned
oneiric dulcimer-driven instrumentals such as the Slavic-tinged Kyrie Eleison
and the hypnotic minimalist Traveler's Advisory,
each of them evoking exotic folk music.
The nine-minute None Born Wise is de facto the dulcimer equivalent
of
John Fahey's lengthy meditations for acoustic
guitar.
It includes a cover of
Michael Hurley's Werewolf.
