Anyone heard of these guys? I have an album by them which is called "Play Rhythm Music" and consists of outtakes from the score of APOCALYPSE NOW. I became interested in their music after watching the 13-part TV series "Vietnam: A Television History" over a year ago; the theme was composed by them, and it really intrigued me. I figured it would be on "Play..." but it's not and I'd really like to get ahold of a copy if it exists somewhere on vinyl. I had a pretty hard time finding "Play ..." and hence anticipate problems with finding the disc that has the "Vietnam..." theme on it. For those of you who have never heard their music -- the Rhythm Devils are primarily Mickey Hart and Billy Kreutzmann (sp?) from the Grateful Dead, along with Zakir Hussain (sp?), Airto (sp?), and a couple other percussionists; I think Phil Lesh also plays on "Play..." Any info. would be appreciated... thanks, -- --Rob Rosen ...ucbvax!rosen rosen@ucbvax.berkeley.edu

I've never heard of the Rhythm Devils, but Micky Hart and 2 others did a record for Reference Records a couple of years ago called Dafo\:s. Very interesting percussion music. African sounding, lots of bass drum, bells, hand drums, a little chanting... The pressing is excellent (45rpm direct disk) Highly recommended. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Never put off until tomorrow what you can avoid altogether.
