Hi, First of all, thanks Ed for your detailed reviews. Those far away from NY will probably appreciate this a lot.
tell me, is the record also all improvisation? i remember hearing the Dave Lombardo (slayer/fantomas fame) played on that record...(??)
The lineup on the album is William Winant and Dave Lombardo on percussion, Fred Frith and John Schott on guitars and David Slusser and Chris Brown on electronics. There's the usual dose of improvisation there, although it's probably the most dynamic game piece I've heard and, in some way, more idiomatic and comprehensible than, say, Cobra. There's a very good equilibrium between the aggresively improvised parts and more laid-back passages and although it gets frenetic at some points, there are enough ups and downs to keep a high level of attention. It's definitely a good intro to game pieces. It has also been performed by six drummers in some occasions as I read in some postings here a while ago. Must have been incredibe (anyone remembers the lineup then?) Best, Efrén del Valle n.p: Les Baxter "Tamboo/Skins" ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
