Scott P Kantner Biography & Facts
Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra is the final solo album by Paul Kantner and the only Kantner solo release to be solely credited to the singer-songwriter. The title comes from an unofficial name for San Francisco artists who recorded on various albums in 1970–1973, also known as PERRO. "The Mountain Song" is dedicated "to David C, Jerry G, Graham N, Grace S, David F, Billy K and Mickey H and to one summer when all of our schedules almost didn't conflict," and was written during the 1970s recording sessions by Kantner and Jerry Garcia. On the album, Kantner utilizes many of his collaborators and family members to front an extended musical trip similar to his then-recent Jefferson Starship efforts. Novel Kantner had intended this record to be a soundtrack to a novel he was writing at the time. The album is the sequel to Kantner's Hugo Award nominated 1970 album Blows Against the Empire, and carries the sub-title "The Empire Blows Back." At the time of the album's release, the novel had not yet been completed but included with the album was an insert which explained the story. The insert describes a San Francisco band that develops telepathic amplification technology, which attracts the attention of various governments. The group attempts to escape to the safety of the Australian Outback, and joins a self-sufficient settlement of over 1500 people. The US government agents track the band down and attempt to take the technology for use in the Cold War. The telepathic children assist in creating a shield around the settlement that then escapes into space. Also included on the album insert were descriptions of what each song meant in the overall story. The full-length novel was later published by Kantner's own company, Little Dragon Press. The novel includes notations for a full soundtrack which would have included (in the order indicated in the novel) : "America" (from KBC Band) "The Planet Earth Rock'n'Roll Orchestra" "She's a Telepath" "Teddy Bear's Picnic" (Bratton / Kennedy song, also covered by Jerry Garcia) "Circle Of Fire" "I'm An Asshole" (never written song, set of lyrics only in the novel, Kantner's notes indicate a Ramones-type punk song) "Teaching The Computers To Dream" (never recorded, played live by Jefferson Starship in 2000-2004, later recycled as "On The Threshold Of Fire" on Jefferson's Tree of Liberty) "I Am Machine" (never written song, set of lyrics only in the novel) "Girl With The Hungry Eyes" (from Jefferson Starship's Freedom at Point Zero) "Mount Shasta" "Lilith's Song" "The Three Oddest Words" (poem by Wislawa Szymborska) "Wooden Ships" (from Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers) "Transsubstantiation" "The Mountain Song" "Declaration Of Independence" "Underground" "I Came Back From The Jaws Of The Dragon" (from Jefferson Starship's Winds Of Change) "Good Shepherd" (from Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers) "Fireball Chant" (never written experimental instrumental in the style of "Underground") "The Sky Is No Limit" "Planes" (from Jefferson Airplane's Jefferson Airplane) "Let's Go" Track listing Personnel Paul Kantner – vocals, guitars, banjo, glass harmonica, synthesizers on "Circle of Fire", lead guitar on "Underground" Grace Slick – vocals, piano on "The Mountain Song" and "The Sky Is No Limit" Jack Casady – bass China Kantner – vocals on "Declaration of Independence" and "The Sky Is No Limit" Alexander Kantner – vocals on "Underground" Craig Chaquico – lead guitar Pete Sears – piano on "The Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra", "Lilith's Song", and "Science Friction", bass on "Circle of Fire" Aynsley Dunbar – drums Scott Mathews – guitar, percussion, pedal steel guitar, Linn drums, glass harmonica, vocoder, synthesizers on "Circle of Fire", saxophones on "Circle of Fire" and "The Sky Is No Limit", vocals on "Esperanto", mandolin on "Esperanto", harmonica on "Esperanto", piano on "Esperanto", organ on "Esperanto", bass drum on "Esperanto" Ron Nagle – piano on "Esperanto", vocals on "Esperanto" The Dūrocs – sound effects on "The Mountain Song" Ronnie Montrose – lead guitar on "(She Is A) Telepath" Flo & Eddie – vocals Mickey Thomas – vocals on "Circle of Fire" David Freiberg – synthesizers and vocals on "Circle of Fire" John Blakeley – 2nd rhythm guitar on "Let's Go" Production Proud Pork Productions (Scott Mathews, Ron Nagle) – producer, engineer, additional production on "Circle of Fire", construction of "Crowded Village" central section on "Mount Shasta" Paul Kantner – director, additional production on "Circle of Fire" Pat Ieraci (Maurice) – production coordinator Vicky Ieraci – assistant production coordinator Ken Kessie – mixing, remixing on "Circle of Fire" Maureen Droney – engineer, assistant mixing David Frazer – engineer Wayne Lewis – engineer Steve Fontana – engineer Artists & Friends, Inc.
