Annoying noise for the most part.......2006-07-30

I'm sure these are highly skilled musicians here, and what they do sounds difficult, but what they have produced here amounts to over an hour straight of annoying (though interesting) noise.

Often people will discredit a song as "nothing but noise" if they strongly dislike it. When I call this "noise," however, I do not mean that I strongly dislike it (although, of course, I do strongly dislike it), I mean that it truly does sound more like noise than music - random tooting of horns and banging of drums and plucking of strings. As noise, it really isn't that bad I suppose, but as music I found it difficult to enjoy.

My recommendation is that you listen to the one minute sample provided by Amazon. If you don't like it you probably won't enjoy the other 75 minutes either.

Almost thirty years ago.......2001-03-18

the Art Ensemle of Chicago walked on stage and transported the assembled audience. Outside it was minus 25 degrees. Cars were frozen to the streets, the batteries stone cold. In Mandel Hall at the University of Chicago those who ventured out were invited to participate in a journey to the origin of music and back. Joseph Jarman and Roscoe Mitchell would move from sax to percussive instuments. As the Ensemble members colaborated on gongs, bells, gourds and marimbas Malachi Favors and Don Moye would bring up the tempo. Lester Bowie dressed in a white doctor's coat turned on the heat. A great live recording.

All aboard for Duffipels!.......1998-12-22

A wonderful AEC set. It has cacophany, humor and absolute spiritual radience. I remember I used to love to listen to the lp, laughing and singing along with the first side and floating and dreaming to the second. (I didn't tend to listen to the second lp as much.)
