Rova::Orkestrova – Electric Ascension Live electric version of Coltrane’s seminal improv work performed by an all-star cast of West Coast improvisers. As you might expect, the group sections are a maelstrom of wailing and feedback, however the solo sections have a surprising dynamic range to them, especially the violin / electronics tracks. The whole disc is excellent, pick any track (except the last one, it’s just applause) 1. Chaotic invocation, slow and ritual 2. Crazed sax solo over full band *3. Awesome Nels w/ percussion backing *4. Electronics and effects-laden violin, starts loud but fades quickly to a spooky, reflective section, then builds to end *5. More cool violin and electronics 6. Wild small group improv 7. Lurching whole band improv *8. Just creaking violins & drums 9. Nels and electronics 10. Eastern sounding gongs and sustained tones 11. Sax solo 12. Final theme, big group work Ben B 6/7/05 | ||
