簡介。。。。。。

Probably this came out in the early 1970s when it was first issued on Kapp (the songs are copyrighted 1970); it was reissued by The Wild Places on CD in 1998. Joni Mitchell's first albums, particularly her first (largely solo acoustic) one, will be instantly evoked by the spare and isolated feel of the songs and the production, not to mention the melodies, guitar playing, and singing. It's not a photocopy, however; it's hard to imagine Joni singing "I'm spacing out, I'm seeing silences between leaves, " as Perhacs does on "Chimacum Rain," unless Mitchell got spiked with acid right before getting onstage. In addition, Perhacs is adept at dropping unusual effects and arrangements into the mix on occasion that have a mildly disquieting and psychedelic vibe. Back to "Chimacum Rain," for example: double-tracked voices get into a slightly hypnotic, disorienting swirl, and suddenly move into a half-chanted section with doomy background notes from hard-to-identify instruments. "Parallelograms" is a round-like vocal (again with multi-track voices), consisting of exactly eight words, that without warning goes into creepy washes of electronically distorted voices, flutes, and rattles. Not all of the record is weird, though; much of it's just attractively wistful, moody singer-songwriter folk, sometimes with an engaging folk-jazz backup, sometimes just with a guitar, sometimes enlivened by creative smudges of organ and electric guitar. It is not currently fashionable to rediscover these kind of subdued early-seventies singer-songwriter albums, but if and when these sorts of overlooked recordings begin to get attention, Parallelograms will almost certainly become a cult favorite.（from AMG）

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數：8.4/10

Linda Perhacs這個風一般的神秘女子在1970年發行了這張傳奇的專輯之後，就消失得無影無蹤了，有人說她居住在夏威夷。Wild Places徒勞地花了兩年時間尋找Linda Perhacs，後來在1998年重新發行了這張專輯，讓我們今天仍然能夠比較容易聽到這飄逸的歌聲，脫俗的旋律。經典的音樂真的是可以經受住時間的考驗，我們至今聼到Parallelograms，尤其是其中那些像Chimacum Rain、Parallelograms、Hey, Who Really Cares?等等這些經典的歌曲，依舊為之深深沉醉。Linda Perhacs就像偶然降落于人間的穆斯，似乎永遠是一個謎。
