PL on WZLX
by Steve on Jul.17, 2009, under Private Lightning Comments
It’s been a while since I had a chance to write anything here. I wanted to let you know that Boston’s Greatest DJ, Carter Allan gave PL a nice plug and played Song of the Kite a couple of weeks ago. I had mailed him the box set of PL stuff, and he played the song on his Ipod Pick of the Day. He just emailed me about the WZLX home page, on which he had placed a pic of the album cover under Carter’s Picks, which links to a nice little review blurb. (Thanks Carter!). I don’t know how long it will be on the wzlx.com site, so I hypersnapped a pic and put it on the web site. Check it out. If you want call ‘zlx and request some of the other songs.

Hallo PRivLight-fans,Just a few words to inform you that there are also PrivLight-fans abroad. I’m from Andijk, The Netherlands. Years ago I bought my LP for less than a dollar - mind you - in an vinylsoldout. Why? Because I was very intrigued by the sleeve-picture. A nice couple of youngsters, in their midst a pretty woman holding the violin moreless like a machine-gun. Or like a precious antiquity?
Anyway, this must be good music you could clearly ‘read’from the picture. It was also triggering me as I’m intrigued by the role of the violin in rockmusic, as this instrument is pre-eminently the symbol of classic music. Can rock and classic come together? Will rock get a status comparable to classic music (see all those coverbands of Pin Floyd, Genesis imitating their shows from the seventies into the smallest detail).
Anyway, I very like the music, the ensemble playing between the violin and the keyboards, the heavy riffs, harmony singing, the frenetic drumming, and last but not least the charming - fresh and fragile -voice of the lady-singer.
As the CD is a fact (and restores a gap in rockhistory) now I’m looking forward to new music and a reunion-concert. Be sure I will be in the audience!!
For those also keen on violin in rock: Try CARAVAN (Canterbury Engl.) from the album “For girls who grow plump in the night” on.
And speaking about classic music: Patty Vanness is nowadays a very well-respected composer of classic music in the tradition of the renaissance-composers.
