	Junkmedia: Angus Maclise : The Cloud Doctrine
		One might guess that Maclise was a virtuoso John McLaughlin-type, but he was actually less concerned with drumming and more concerned with the avant-garde movement, the tape recorder and, more specifically, serialism: a method of composition whereby a series of numbers is applied in order to displace the composer and create a sense of randomness.
		Maclise may have viewed himself as a composer, albeit one who worked on a tape recorder instead of a staff.
		Maclise heard other things than the obvious ceremonial details, and in the same way brought the avant-garde and serialism to the table from his own culture.

	The Velvet Underground - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MacLise was replaced by Maureen "Moe" Tucker, Jim Tucker's younger sister.
		Tucker's abbreviated drum kit was rather unusual: She generally played on tom toms and an upturned bass drum, using mallets rather than drumsticks, and she rarely used cymbals.
		In 1966, MacLise temporarily rejoined the Velvet Underground for a few E.P.I. shows when Reed was suffering from hepatitis and unable to perform.

	Angus Invasion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		"Angus MacLise ensured his obscurity when, in late 1965, he quit as the founding percussionist of the Velvet Underground on the eve of their first paying gig — because he was offended by the idea of art for money.
		MacLise, who died of malnutrition in Nepal in 1979, never reneged on his bohemian purity; his own music, played and protected as a rite of spiritual transport, was not commercially issued in his lifetime.
		The Invasion Of Thunderbolt Pagoda, comprising tapes made between 1968 and 1972, is the first-ever MacLise album and is, despite patches of rough fidelity, a clear trip to transcendence: epic spans of Indo-Asian modality and drone, powered by MacLise's muscular hand drumming.

		Long-time ally of Gysin and Burroughs, he had long championed Maclise's work and it was through Ira that permissions for publication were obtained from the Maclise estate.
		Gerard Malanga of course is also the whip-dancer in the early films and photos of the Velvet Underground; Maclise the early drummer in the Velvets, pre-dating Mo Tucker's involvement with thre group.
		Maclise dropped out of the band when they started to get gigs: the idea of having to start and stop playing at pre-determined times was, for him, control gone mad.

	On Angus MacLise... - TURFING
		Angus MacLise always fascinated me. A true artist, with a capital A. His close associations with such artist as Terry Riley, as well as being a founding member of The Velvet Underground, Hanging with Lamonte Young, making films with Piero Heliczer speaks volumes to the genius that inhabited his spirit.
		Angus was always looking for new varieties; he once found a lovely paper in the village of Toshe and called it Speckled Toshe.
		Angus MacLise died on the Summer Solstice, June 21, 1979 at the Shanta Bawan Hospital in Kathmandu.

	Maureen Tucker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When she was asked to join the Velvet Underground, Tucker was working for IBM as a keypunch operator.
		The band's original percussionist, Angus Maclise, had left in November 1965 because he refused to play before a paying audience, and Tucker was drafted in because Velvets guitarist Sterling Morrison remembered the kid sister of one of his college friends played the drums.
		Tucker's style of playing was unusual: she played standing up, rather than seated, using a simplified drum kit of tom toms, a snare drum and an upturned bass drum, using mallets rather than drumsticks, and she rarely used cymbals.

	Album Detail
		In 1965, Angus would become one of The velvet Underground's founding members, yet his association with the group would be quickly shortlived.
		Disenchanted with the direction i which the group's musical agenda was heading, he allowed himself to be fired by Lou Reed, thus curtailing his own part in the Velvets' future recording career, also shortlived.
		In the end it was destitution and chronic ill-health, not isolation, that led to his untimely death at 42.

	Midheaven's Angus MacLise virtual shrine
		Angus says they were just passing through on their way East but he and his new wife Hetty, whom we still haven't met, were busted along with a third person, Loudon Snowden Wainwright for pot.
		This Wainwright, Angus alleges, is the son of a bigtime Staff Writer at LIFE magazine, and he's got himself bailed out with a high-class lawyer and left Angus and Hetty in jail.
		Angus was larger than life and although he played with many of the best musicians around -- LaMonte Young, Tony Conrad, Terry Riley and Terry Jennings among them-and was a founding member of The Velvet Underground, his greatest magic was in making everyone he came in contact with part of his cosmic humming.

	Record Review (Detroit Metro Times)
		Hand drummer, poet, calligrapher, visionary and the original drummer of the Velvet Underground: Angus MacLise, the most mythic footnote in the VU story, has long deserved to have his own story told and heard.
		It was MacLise, after all, who had the deepest roots in the avant-garde film and sound scene that spawned the VU.
		Lurid Lou Reed biographer Victor Bockris sez that MacLise is the guy who turned Lou on to speed, and, alas, Angus was the first Velvet to die in 1979, in Katmandu.

	Angus MacLise - Astral Collapse - Review - Stylus Magazine
		The story, as far as most people are concerned, is that the drummer quit the Velvets before their first gig because he was opposed to making money for his music; he then set off on a journey to Tibet, among other places, before dying in 1974.
		MacLise’s recitation is declarative but un-pretentious, infusing emotion into his work without coming across as self-conscious; a pretty rare feat among the underground illuminati with whom the drummer frequently worked.
		MacLise’s shifting hand drum patterns provide an unsteady support for the high frequency squirts and pitch-shifted squeals, keeping the focus always on the pushed-to-the-edge electronics.

		At a time when rock still seemed wild, MacLise was admittedly too obscure to cause many to pay attention to his work, but he was also too restless and disinterested to allow his work to be properly attended to.
		He was underdocumented because documentation didn't fit his conception of art, not because he thought (as Young does) that recording technology, and in a larger sense the world, was not up to the demands of his art.
		Though MacLise was more aimless than most of the minimalists, hung up as they were on treatises and theories, he was still a serious musician—but all the while his heart was laughing, laughing, laughing.

	Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda - Angus MacLise - Music Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		MacLise's polyrhythmic hand drum anchors a spooky, hypnotic piece in which organ, tanpura (both played by his wife Hetty MacLise), flute, guitar, dulcimer, and disturbing vocal chants ebb and subside like a Halloween dream soundscape.
		Although it's not detailed in the liner notes, ghostly reverb seems to be employed on both the flute and vocals, adding to a otherworldly ambience in which psychedelia, shamanistic rhythm, avant-garde drone, and Indian music weave shifting prisms around each other.
		The concluding "Humming in the Night Skull," featuring MacLise on song bells, Hetty MacLise on harmonium, and others on flute and guitar, is a soothing combination of tones (punctuated by a couple of baby cries), demonstrating that Angus was not entirely devoted to angst.

	Blastitude 13
		According to legend it was either Angus who coined the name because he saw a paperback with this title at a bookrack in Times Square or Tony Conrad who found a copy of the book on a sidewalk.
		A paid gig was offered, all but Angus were eager to accept, and when he did not show up for the concert he got booted out.
		It is an intense score, Angus beating the hell out of his hand drums as voices, dulcimers and tampura swirl around on a basis of repetitious organ drone.

		The lesser-known member of the Dream Syndicate (which also included Tony Conrad and John Cale), Angus MacLise remains an enigmatic figure -- the scarceness of his discography doesn't help.
		This double album exquisitely completes the picture painted in part by the two volumes of archive material released by Ira Cohen on the Siltbreeze label in 1999 and 2000.
		The Cloud Doctrine is a selection of almost 160 minutes of music taken from the tapes MacLise gave to Don Snyder in the '70s.

		He didn't want to be in a group, though, he thought it was fun to play music now and then whenever he felt like it; so Angus couldn't be the drummer though we were good friends.

		MacLise's three solo performances on hand drums and cembalum (a variety of hammered dulcimer), with their driving rhythms and needle-in-the-red recording quality, are bracingly mind-clearing.
		MacLise's fantasic percusion gives the same old drone a shot in the arm, giving a disc of ultra-psychedelic cuts, often with organ and/or flute.
		One particular cut with MacLise's wife on organ sounds as though its the template for the ensuing Krautrock flood.

		You gotta hand it to Table of the Elements for doing this--instead of getting permission (which would be impossible), they just went ahead and released it, sending a big middle finger to LaMonte.
		The central debate boils down to composition credit--Young wants all involved artists to sign a statement acknowledging him as the sole composer of the music, while Conrad and Cale refuse, believing the music to be a group composition.
		MacLise's contribution is negligible: some slight tabla drumming on the first 9 minutes that actually sounds like tape flutter.

	Angus Maclise: Astral Collapse: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Angus Maclise, on the other hand, was far more the Renaissance Man: making his own calendars, doing calligraphy, publishing homemade collections of his poems and spiritual tracts, and acting in underground flicks, not to mention founding the original incarnation of The Velvet Underground.
		To those already entranced by his late-blooming legacy (he passed away prematurely at age 41 back in the late 1970s with no readily available documentation of his efforts), he is remembered as a powerful percussionist.
		Only once, on "Beezlebub", does Maclise pull out the Beat bongos, and even then promptly chucks them into a haunted pressure cooker, making a most intense and unholy clatter of percussion and disquieting ghost noise.
