Outside jazz led by prolific east-coast violinist Maneri (on viola here). Stormy, dark, and often slow. Even-numbered tracks are psychedelic jams, with Maneri adding effects that make his viola sound like a guitar! and with Craig Taborn doing cool electric piano, and Joe McPhee on sax. Great quintet work on these. Odd-numbered tracks are solo improvs by each band member. 1*- Solo viola. Great atmosphere but very quiet, consisting of sparse squeaks. 2*- Slow jam, reminiscent of Talk Talk's last two albums 3*- Solo piano, starts slow, gets fast and tangly 4- Slow and eerie 5- Solo bass (William Parker) 6*- Big crashing jam, even gets rhythmic and funky near the end 7- Solo percussion; ghostly rattling 8- A slow tumbling chaos 9- Solo sax, hauntingly slow and flute-like | ||
