Cassaro, University of Pittsburgh, Music ii Copyright © by Sara Gulgas 2017 iii LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PAST: BAROQUE ROCK’S POSTMODERN NOSTALGIA AND THE POLITICS OF MEMORY Sara Gulgas, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2017 In the mid-1960s, baroque rock music blended the sound of string quartets, harpsichord ostinatos, and contrapuntal techniques with rock instrumentation. This contemporary representation of the distant past presents an ironic anachronism that is humorous in its novel affect while allowing this dissonance to alert the listener about constructions of memory and the perception of time. Some of the biggest names in rock and roll were influenced by the Early Music revival but took a non-linear approach to history rather than undertaking “historically informed performance.” They cultivated what I call postmodern nostalgia: a symptom of crisis and progress that is simultaneously reflexive in its detached interpretation of history and imagined in its participants’ ability to reference a past they have not themselves experienced.

Da stellt sich grundsätzlich die Frage, ob man – wenn man schon im Besitz der Erstveröffentlichungen ohne Bonustracks oder zum Beispiel der letzten Wiederveröffentlichungen von Salvo aus dem Jahre 1999 mit vielen Extrastücken ist – noch mal zuschlagen sollte. Esoteric Antenna bietet die CDs in einer 1-CD-Version sowie als Deluxe-DoCD-Version („Shine on Brightly“ sogar als 3 CD- Version) an, wobei hinsichtlich des geringen Preisunterschieds (bis auf die 3 CD-Fassung) und des großen Angebots an hörenswerten, auch bisher unveröffentlichten Stücken,die Deluxe-Fassungen einen eindeutigen Mehrwert aufweisen. Soundtechnisch hat das Klangtüftler-Team Rob Keyloch (Digitale Überspielung von den originalen Masterbändern) und Ben Wiseman (24-bit digitales Remastering) ziemlich gute Arbeit geleistet. Auch, da die beiden den Dynamikumfang der Ursprungsaufnahmen fast bewahren konnten. Procol Harum klangen auf CD selten so luftig und knackig, da können sogar die MFSL-Bearbeitungen Ende der 80er/Anfang der 90er nicht mithalten Die Aufmachung und der Inhalt der CD-Hüllen sind als exzellent zu bezeichnen. So kommen die Mehrfach-CD-Varianten in haptisch ansprechenden aufklappbaren Hochglanz-Digipacks bzw. einer Klappbox auf den Markt.
