Granted, not everyone's gonna dig this weirdness . . ........2005-02-08

. . . but those who do are in for a special treat.

Nels Cline is slowly but surely establishing himself as one of the truly important figures in avant garde jazz and new music. Here the Left Coast guitar maestro finds himself in an entirely congenial setting with Downtown NY bandmates Andrea Parkins (accordion, piano, keyboards, and laptop samples) and Tom Rainey (drums). There's plenty of noise/grunge to satisfy the hardest core out-jazz freak; but there's also a lot of unexpected sheer beauty, with industrial white noise morphing into delicate and unexpected melody ("Alleys of North America").

This strikes me as the finest and most profound music the prolific Nels Cline has put to disc, containing a gravitas and sonic profundity sledom encountered in music of any stripe.

Greatly rewards close listening, although certainly not aural wallpaper or background music (despite apparent ventures into same).

Terrific out-outing.......2004-12-03

Three of the most innovative and far reaching musicians working today, work very well together on this recording. It runs the gamut of styles, restlessly so, imaginatively so. Nels is in fine form and this is one of the best of his latest batch of recordings. Rainey is a great drummer (see his work with Tim Berne, epecially the Big Satan record), and Parkins who has played with everyone from Bjork to Zorn, is magical, adding in so many subtle layers of sound. You'll like this record--you may even love it if you listen to it long enough.
