5 out of 5 stars Wild about Weber.......2006-12-28

As with most ECM recordings, the sound quality is extraordinary. This is electroacoustic music at its finest and is not far from "musique concrète". Weber uses echo machines and delay equipment to further musical material derived from spontaneous creation on his instrument. Weber's resourcefulness on the bass and in the editing room is awesome. The listener is enveloped in sumptuous "architectural environments" and "alluring movements" full of colour, texture and line. Also sample John Klemmer's 1972 live disc, "Waterfalls". Although removed from Weber's studio CD, "Pendulum ", by concept and time, "Waterfalls" has some of the same use of echo machine.

Great review from the previous author, I would like to point out that Eberhard Weber plays a 5-string electric upright on this and most albums he is on. This is a bass tour de force.

5 out of 5 stars Do you like double bass?.......2001-11-19

Then you should really own this. Weber, who is probably known by most for his work with Jan Gabarek, breaks new ground with this solo album of his own compositions. He uses tape loops and some other electronic trickery to overlay his own playing to create pieces that sound very much like there are several musicians.

I find there is no one piece that really stands out; all are very strong and finely crafted. There is a very good blend of traditional double bass work with some bowing. Then there are the pieces with the electronics - sublime!

Too bad it seems to have fallen through the cracks, I highly recommend getting a copy if you have any interest in the possibilities of the double bass when played by someone with incredible talent and imagination.
