I mean you can listen to Hugo Largo without Brian Eno yammering over the music by… playing their albums
I had their first album “Drum” (a recording with no drums on it, ha ha) when I was in college and I kinda liked it I guess, but at some point I sold the LP.
My brother (a drummer) also had their “Mettle” album on cassette (also, no drums) but I don’t remember ever listening to it.
I am curious to revisit those albums now that I’m older, I find a lot of things I dismissed when I was in my teens and 20’s I like now.
Maybe it’s because I’m rewatching the Good Place right now, but this headline has serious Bad Janet vibes.
My band ApoCowLypso opened for Hugo Largo in Richmond in the eighties…they were lush, of course, but mostly I remember singer Mimi Goese unceremoniously and unprovocatively removing a layer of clothing after each song (she started with quite a few). Unfortunately on that night they were victims of The Curse of ApoCowLypso, and delivered a flawless show to maybe a dozen people tops.
i loved Hugo Largo back in the day. Interesting to see them popping up again for whatever reason… and with an Eno connection now, no less.
For some reason Apple Music only has two tracks of Drum available to stream. This could be taken as a confident “we know you’ll like these two enough to go find the super hard to find vinyl (or just go stream it on Y’toobs)”
