randyhersom Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 New on Tzadik, I got mine from eMusic. Evan Parker's music often has a trancelike physical and emotional effect on me and this delivers nicely. No bass or drums, but I wonder if the title hints at overdubbing by Evan. The first track suggests a string quartet, but the tone is that of a sax when you listen closely. Of course it wouldn't be the first time I wondered if I was listening to more than one horn player when listening to this artist. Quote
ep1str0phy Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 I've been hesitant in working through Evan's more recent material (i.e., the past decade or so--and I'm talking the EAI stuff, mainly). Perhaps there's something that just didn't connect, but more than likely--given the fact that I've only returned to Evan after running through all the early free improv guys--I need to do some listening (again). A lot of his earlier material (e.g., the pseudo-electric stuff with Paul Lytton) is extremely similar on a pretty facile sonic level... and I enjoy that one a lot, so I'd be interested in hearing some recs.
