I hadn't even seen Joseph's post when I made mention of Mike Patton...very interesting...I think I might have butchered Stratos' first name as well. ----s

Area prog kicks the ass of world
by K. Scott Handley 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Area is so, so good. I discovered them early in 2002, I think, and collected most of their recordings only months before the box was released (dammit). I'm not generally a prog fan, either, but the two groups cited by Dominique Leone in his Pitchfork review---Magma and Soft Machine---are favorites and okay points of reference, in the sense that they created fascinating soundworlds in/around prog and psychedelia, and both had rather, er, _different_ vocalists that placed an indelible stamp on the groups' work. Demetrios Stratos' voice might be the only off-putting thing about Area for a newcomer who hasn't braved the Magma "shivery falsetto" skreech yet. Not that Stratos does that, exactly, but he does ornament his vocal drama with, well, yodels. What else could we call them? Yodels, growls, ululations, glossolalia...Stratos crushes up and spits and wipes and ruminates language like very few singers anywhere near the rock idiom. Those who are impressed by Mike Patton's range and perversion would do well to seek out Stratos' work with Area. In terms of chops, SM/Magma really is a kind of marginally helpful comparison, because though all three bands jam, there are more than a few moments where there's no better comparison than some of Herbie Hancock's groups from the Seventies. Balanced against Area's ultra-tight kick-ass funk-fusion ejaculations are passages of open-ended perversity that outdo any other prog groups I can think of...though I think most of these might be on records like the great MALEDETTI (not inlcuded in this Area box, but available from the same label, Akarma). My own preference would be for this album, though at the price, the four disc box set can't be beat, if you found it for only $40. For a "popular" band, Area might have included almost everything they did on four full CDs, instead of four ~40min CDs, but that is the "value oriented American" in me. Also, when did Paul Lytton and Steve Lacy sit in with any other prog band, the way they do with Area? (Well, this was on MALEDETTI; I can't remember if that happens on any of the box set titles.) I personally recommend Area with devil-signs in the air. If the descriptions don't have you convinced, then try MALEDETTI, and if you like it, the box will be a must. (Though MALEDETTI is probably the stranger of the discs, all things considered.) -----s

Ipso Facto, _La Spirale de L´Escargot_
by Stephen Fruitman 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

Fine new album by Montréal quartet named Ipso Facto, _La Spirale de L´Escargot_ (Monsieur Fauteux M´entendez-Vous?). Coolly swaying violin/acoustic guitar-led rhumbas, klezmer, Balkan, all different styles and very well integrated (all written by the guitarist, no covers). Very inventive drummer to boot. Would fit comfortably alongside many a Tzadik RJC release. -- Stephen Fruitman Dept of Historical Studies Umea University SE-901 87 Umea Sweden

Re: gerry hemingway/ mark dresser
by Fastian＠aol.com 30 Jan '03

<< hello. i'm interested in the gerry hemingway albums with mark dresser and ernst reijseger. has nayone heard the new mark dresser reunion live album also gerry's outbridge crossing with mark helias. thanks, brian. >> I'll take a shot at this one since no one else has. The reunion cd is great, a bit of a misnomer since it says on the cd that it was their world premier performance, though both Dresser and David Mott have played with Hemingway before. Mott is on "Outerbridge Crossing" as well which is like an augmented Bass Drum Bone with Mott and Reijseger. I have this on vinyl and I don't think it was ever released on cd. There's great playing on this record and this was one of his 1st band records, other than the couple that came out on Auricle. All the Hat cds are worth getting, most having Dresser, Reijseger, Michael Moore!, and Wolter Wierbos. "Special Detail" has Don Byron and Ed Schuller in place of Dresser and Moore. I would say "Demon Chaser" and "Down to The Wire" are especially good, containing really classic pieces, and the 2 on Random Acoustics, "Slamadam" and "Perfect World" are exceptional as well. You really can't go wrong with anything Hemingway has done. I'm going down to Calarts in March to see him play solo, with different band groupings, and an orchestra playing some of his compositions. Should be definitely worthwhile, not an everyday occurrance. Cheers, John Threadgould np Perfect World
