GOOD MORNING VIETNAM- Good Morning Vietnam / Various (CD)
From Saigon: The sounds of sonar, tank caterpillars and machine-gun fire overshadow a schoolchildren's math lesson and a prayer for peace prayed by a monk; we observe American soldiers blunting their confusion with booze, as they make arrangements with prostitutes... One man wonders, "I don't even know what I'll do when I get back to the world, but I hope I'll do something good." Good Morning, Vietnam is a sound collage compiled by Claude Johner, a photographer who was touched by the ravages of war, "the reality of which is beyond those who direct it."
Tracklist:
- Radio Informs And Enterains You
- Western In Saigon
- The Arithmetic Lesson
- Prayers For Peace
- Everyday Life In The Country
- The War Machine In Operation
- The Abstract-Universe Of War
- The Bars, Money Of The Forgetting Of War
- The Cost Of War
- Fire!
