Robert Ashley - The Park. Robert Ashley - The Backyard. Private Parts The Record. The 1978 LP, which would later serve as the foundation for the composers seven-part televised opera Perfect Lives, discusses at length the inner workings of two characters, a man and a woman, anonymous to us and perhaps even to each other. Words flood its 40-plus minute runtime, circling meaning but never arriving at a conclusion. Whats explored by Ashley, in his drawling monologues, seems to be everything that isnt happening-an inversion that slinks and dances among the shadows.

When Private Parts first hit the scene, everyone I knew had The Park memorized within a month and quoted from it constantly. Ashley's series of non-sequitur images, fusing into a picture so lifelike that it never quite added up, brought a mystery into music theater that smashed our previous conceptions of the genre. I've enjoyed this album for well over twenty years. I have fallen asleep to it. It has woken me up. When I listen intently to it, I hear amazing things. simple truths about life, observations that strike a chord and give me pause to reflect on my own decisions and lack of decisions.
