Album Review

Reviewed 2005-02-23
Flute-led tracks, mostly free improv but also some avant-rock (with Hay singing) and experimental electronics. A collection of projects that spans the past decade.

Some fun, beat-oriented tracks here (3,6,8). A couple of percussion tracks get an exotic "world" feel (6,11). And of course there's the abstract group improv thing (1,4,7,others). Nice stuff.

1 - Ghostly jumping, echoey
2- Slow, creeping
3- Rock song! Gloomy mid/fast
4- Calm flute and piano
5- Fast swirly curving... into a nice beat with bassoon, gets fast
6- Exotic "world" percussion and nonsense vocal
7- Fast, clattery improv; breaks for a flute/voice solo
8- Cool low-key pulse and vocals, a bit Amy X. Neuberg-like. Ends w/athletic flute jam.
9- Electronics gurble plus voice
10- Fast abstract jumble w/vocal growls
11- Cool flute/percussion duo
12- Bluesy backwater, with harmonica (melodica) and spare guitar
