>> has anyone picked this up? Care to review it? I know that this band has played around a bit, I am really into what dave did encorporating electronics into witness, I have high hopes for this new album. thanks jt<< I like the cd a lot. Definitely one of his better ones. What to say that Steve hasn't said? It's very rhythmic and driving although there are quieter sections as well. Joey Baron really shines here. Some of the best drumming that I've heard from him in awhile. You get to hear Douglas play a lot of tasty muted trumpet. He's even listed on keyboards although its hard to figure who's playing what. He's probably doing the chordal washes of sound. Douglas's heavily treated voice is heard reading text on one rather short cut. Chris Speed and Seamus Blake play sax on alternate tracks. Speed really adds a lot to the tracks he is on, while you have to really strain to hear sax on the cuts that Blake is on. There's an extra track tacked on at the end of the cd that's not listed that's pretty trippy. Its quite different from "Witness" so its hard to say which is better. I love them both. Douglas is playing Yoshis in Oakland on Monday with the following lineup: Seamus Blake-tenor sax Jamie Saft-Keyboards David Gilmore-guitar Brad Jones-bass Dereck Phillips-drums DJ Olive- turntables Who's Dereck Phillips? Anyone familiar with him? Anyway, it should be a great show. Cheers, John Threadgould
