Loosely organized jazz pieces with marimba and drums, for a percussion-heavy sound, joined by sax and bass. Most tracks are based on structured compositions with detours into free-jam territory.
Nice stuff, along the lines of Birth or Happy Apple.
1- Midtempo insistent pulse
2- Sparse, quiet improv... into fast pattering groove
3- Mid/fast start with lots of drum and marimba, then a fast relaxed sax segment
4- Happy and goofy, like '50s TV theme music
5- Crazy thunder drums, slow melody. Ends quiet and calm
6- Small cute clarinet number, upbeat classical feel
7- Slow melodic crawl, with industrial groans.
8- Long abstract improv. Starts melodic and slow, ends with nice popping composition
9- Mid/fast, upbeat. Lots of busy, loud drumming
10- Calm chamber wanderings... second half aggressive, sax-driven. Nice melody to end it.
