Album Review

Reviewed 2004-04-11

Bass and percussion improvisations. Leandre has a wonderful sense of drama in her playing. Many tracks start with slow, zen-like percussion (2, 3, 6, 7, 9) -- so many that it gets repetitious and annoying -- but bass takes the starring role overall, with percussion setting the backdrop and mood. Recommended overall.

1- Groany, almost industrial. Develops, a beat, then moves into energetic, deep-note territory
2- Fast and skittish, with cool cave-droplets percussion
3- Slowly tuneful, over pensive ringing. Ends with forceful bowing
4- Noisy. Metallic whisking sounds
5- Busy, almost combative, for 2+ minutes. Then high and singing. Ends quiet.
6- Gets into fast rhythmic thumping: Dynamic minor-key
7- Eerily ambient. Long tones
8- Rapid, aggressive sawing. Starts slow.
9- Calm, very slow bells and gongs
