Re: Rock - what are you listening to?
Amazing music, would love to hear it on vinyl..... I gather that a remastered version has been released on CD.
It's OK, if there is no bread I will eat cake.

Re: Rock - what are you listening to?
Listening to these two later; the common denominator is Raoul Björkenheim guitarist....
Most definitely NOT Jazz.......well maybe a tiny, tiny bit :) The sort of stuff the Jazz columnist used to review in Hi Fi World. Now what was his name? Was it Simon Reynolds?
This is one I got earlier...Sounds fantastic though.
Boomkat product review for:
Box - Studio 1
A supergroup collaborative project from the mighty Rune Grammofon, Box was conceived by writer and filmmaker Philip Mullarkey as an interdisciplinary art and film project. The musicians he recruited are some of improv's leading lights from across the globe, including Scorch Trio guitarist Raoul Bjorkenheim, John Zorn and Fantomas bass player Trevor Dunn, Supersilent/Humcrush synthesizer maestro Stale Storlokken and one-time Frank Zappa collaborator Morten Agren on drums. With that sort of improvisational royalty on board this was always bound to be a pretty full-on listening experience, and sure enough the quartet blast through pan-generic free music with an exhausting virtuosity and gusto. 'Untitled 9' features some serious whammy bar damage from Bjorkenheim, who makes like a wave of Hendrix feedback whilst Storlokken occasionally steps in to mimick his wild, unstable pitching. The rhythm section is glazed with an oversaturated sound that only compounds the furious groundwork they're putting in. After seventeen minutes of flat-out carnage the quartet turn to the more pensive awkward time signatures of 'Untitled 11', a kind of jolting jazz-blues number in which Dunn and Agren are given plenty of space to shine. Once they've settled down into sme sort of groove, the band become more subtle and experimental - there seems to be a little less showing off through the album's middle, with jittery, tonal contortions and twists eventually resulting in the free-time grindcore of 'Untitled 13'. For a final eight minutes, 'Untitled 12' is dinosaur prog all the way, shifting the pacing in strange, sinusoidal gradients with Storlokken's bright, neon synth emissions compounding the mood of meandering, queasy excess.
ECM - 1992

Re: Rock - what are you listening to?
Ah :) Fabulous penultimate effort by Brendan, Lisa and cohorts. Always loved that sleeve though....Was extremely lucky to catch them live here in the Olympia Dublin.....and at the very start of the Summer break too. Bliss! By the way I believe they're reforming for a spate of live gigs this year...jadarin wrote:

Re: Rock - what are you listening to?
Unfortunately I was just after getting the live dvd and I sort of knew what to expect. Yer man on the percussion Ó Snodaigh, I think, was just amazing, leaping around the stage and hitting anything that came to hand :).....and yes, it was an amazing, life changing gig too.jadarin wrote:cybot wrote:Ah :) Fabulous penultimate effort by Brendan, Lisa and cohorts.
