Born Broke - Brötzmann and Uuskyla

[David Ayers]

Anyone who like me is partial to a bit of Brötzmann could do worse than pick up this 'new' Atavistic release. Wonderfully engineered studio recording. Liner note by Uuskyla who speaks of the difficulty presenting what he calls 'simple' music to the public, and makes an acid remark about 'genius grants' which he feels foster the wrong kinds of activities and remove music from the people by making it look complex. So, some food for thought and a great listen. I picked it up when new and only just unsealed it - that's how my life goes...

Oh and I see the notes are on Uuskyla's Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/peeteruuskyla
