Abstract improvised music with traces of free jazz in some tracks. No electronics, but could appeal to fans of strange, noisy stuff. It's a retrospective of drummer Jeff Arnal's various groups over the past 10 years, but there are common threads: nearly all-acoustic instrumentation, and some jazzy wisps from sax and piano (or, outright free-jazz aggression as on 1 and 4.) 1- Free-jazz attack. Lotta drums, wailing tenor sax. 2- Rattly drums and spare bass clarinet spatters 3- Sporadic, squawky. Echoey lo-fi. 4- Stern, slow piano. Gets loud and stormy 5- Rapid patter of small, curly sounds. Active yet low-key 6- Saxophone squawks. Pecking, abstract. 7- High, surreal squeak. 8- Mid/fast, lonely free jazz: Cooking sax/drums, crystalline piano. Great late-night bustling feel. 9- Dark and ritualistic sax/bass. Gets intense, a nice 15-minute journey 10- Small piano, metallic percussion 11- Chamber piano, slightly off. Really short. 12- Languid: loping, twangy bass, then calm jazz guitar. 13- Peppery piano and bass. A nicely dense, short track. 14- Otherworldly rattles and low, low trombone notes 15- Scattery skewed-jazz piano/sax 16- Gentle drone | ||
