Guy Berger Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) We’ve had a few other threads about Tim’s releases and ensembles but they are scattershot, so I started this one and will link to the others. Recently I listened to Open, Coma for the first time - I believe this is the only large ensemble recording Tim has made. It’s really good. Lots of great Marc Ducret on this one.

Dub Modal Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 Have you listened to Ches Smith's Path of Seven Colors yet? Berne is there as sideman. It's an interesting album. A little outside of the idiom as the Haitian drumming drives the whole thing, but it's a good listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjazzg Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 I shou;d listen to 'Open, Coma' again. It's on my "to sell" list after a major cull of Berne titles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted January 6, 2022 Report Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thanks for starting a Tim Berne thread. I have to admit that, except for Broken Shadows, I have somehow lost focus on what he has been doing during the last few decades. But I really did appreciate his earlier work with Science Fiction and Bloodcount. Some of that music is really mesmerizing. What should I listen to today, other than Broken Shadows, to catch up with Tim Berne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah very occasionally though I recall, I definitely remember him posting in one of the 'ECM, evil of the music world' threads.

I especially like the two Torns (Prezens, Sun of Goldfinger), the first Formanek (Rub & Spare Change), and the 2nd-4th Snakeoils. The Snakeoils on Intakt are great too.

I think I like them more even than the 80s stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted March 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Discovering Science Friction (Berne, Taborn, Ducret, Rainey) this week - so far just the studio album. It’s really good and fairly accessible by Berne’s standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
