Revival of 70s jazz/rock group in the vein of Soft Machine/early King Crimson/Henry Cow/ Manring Kassin & Darter is as much jazz as rock. 2 of Sun Ra's Arkestra join them, and they get progressive and brassy. Fresh! 1) Bolero-like background to woodwind chords w/organ section 2) energetic tasteful freakout over progressive beats 3)* funky brass like early King Crimson 4) smooth, forgettable 5)* fine melodic sax over simple rising backing 6) saxes over jazzy beat/beauty strings/flute jazz 7)** funky Peter Gunn/into netherworld of bush/jazz/ Russian monolog/driving jazz 8)* string minor chamber/bitchin discord/tonal strangeness 9)* fast space/saxes blast/bass-organ duet 10) doo diddly doo fast jazzy 11) drone w/echo flutes/beat comes in, nicety continues 12)* free range sax over solid rhythm section 13) free jazz? 14) piano w/emotional woodwinds, builds/jazzy Araby 15) a little Chicago, jazzed up 16) sax melody over Genesis like 17) church organ choir/more Chicago | ||
