5 out of 5 stars Kinetic Bonds and Primal Awareness.......2001-03-03

In the opening scenes of Stanley Kubricks' masterpiece , 2001 A Space Oddysey, a group of primates are on the verge of an act of eternal social importance. After brutaly pounding a fellow tribesman with a newfound item of destruction, the overwhelmed beast hurls his victorious weapon into the air, twirling and tumbling into future millenium. It is the sight of this repetitive end over end motion of the tool of mans demise that enters my mind as I listen to the most recent release of Pocahontas, Illinois unsung heroes Grandpa's Ghost. The record "Il Baccio" ,released in June of 2000, on Upland Records, somehow seems to intersect with that scene in Kubricks film as if the twirling motion resonated like a perpetual motion machine for thousands of years and then mysteriously locks in with the pulse of Il Baccio and then just as mysteriously is gone again.This record is equally primitive and complicated, socially vocal and muted and sonicly silent and dense. Weighing in at over 75 minutes this epic transcends time and emotion. Conjuring up images of pre-natal to post-mortem in a seemingly seemless move from the opening utterings of anxiety to the final anthemic thoughts of quiet cosmic contentment. Although not a record for the faint of heart, Il Baccio is one beautiful brushstroke on the canvas of lifes reality.
