This 1999 production represents material culled from Chapman Stick/Warr guitarist Trey Gunn's bank of previously unreleased outtakes or, as he states, "surfacings." Here, Gunn enlists the services of prominent modern jazz trumpeter/composer Dave Douglas along with drummer Pat Mastellotto (a fellow King Crimson bandmate) and drummer/percussionist Bob Muller. In addition, a female vocalist simply known as Serpentine sings on two tracks; yet, other than the leader, all the instrumentalists appear on selected pieces. With this effort, Gunn utilizes his electronic "tapping" instruments to lay down complex ostinato-type motifs while multi-tracking bass parts and churning out electrified solos. Hence, Gunn paints polytonal fabrics of sound via his cunning discourses and obliquely stated passages. Overall, the artist provides a disparate mix, consisting of ambient dreamscapes atop hard-driving backbeats and East Indian modalities. Meanwhile, Douglas and Gunn execute harmonious unison choruses amid straight-four rock measures and worldbeat-style grooves. Thus, Raw Power: Surfacings is a noteworthy outing from a musician who generally seeks to expand his already wide-ranging horizons. ~ Glenn Astarita

My path in putting the audio portion of this package together was a two-fold process. I am very, very picky about the running order. I will spend weeks on just this, trying out various things and tweaking it to get the balance and shape just right.The first running order I put together was made up of what I thought most people would take to be the best tracks from my 6 solo/band recordings, with some new material added. But when I listened through the finished arrangement it was good, very good, but ultimately not that satisfying to me, personally. It just wasn't what I really wanted to hear from the material.So, I took a second strategy: "Fuck ...

The aptly-named PATCHWORK is a collection of unreleased recordings that stretch over the span of three full decades, stitched together by Faust mainstay Hans Joachim Irmler into three loosely-connected suites, in the manner of the krautrock pioneers' legendary odds-and-sods compilation THE FAUST TAPES.
Neither a collection nor an album of fresh material, Patchwork will both confuse and please Faust's fans. This CD comes back ...

Editor: James Nice.
Expanding on a previous Japanese-only release, Rare Live -- by combining the original ten-song early-1981 show on that effort with a further, not-as-well-recorded, ten-song session half a year later, Crazy to Exist -- gives the self-respecting Josef K fanatic one further release to hit the shops. Both shows were quite brief, as preserved here -- half an ...

Raw Power: Surfacings 1
$10.15
The Catillacs are a hard working American band made up of equal parts rock, blues and country which often cross pollinate in wonderful ways. “Meow Mix”, their first CD is chock full of gems from the first tremolo soaked guitar lick. Several styles are represented here, but they hang together nicely, and the continuity of the band is never lost. This is a record that gets better with each listening and gets into your head ‘til you crave it. The music is reminiscent of classic Americana, and while they never fall into the trap of sounding like copycats, there are comparisons to be made. From the CCR flavored “Boogaloo” on through the albums closer, the darkly spooky “Headlights” it jumps effortlessly between genres with several dynamic shifts which turn on a dime, but still manage to work well together…For instance, Robert Johnsons “Me and the Devil Blues” is given the driving slide guitar fueled punk/blues treatment which ends suddenly on a series of tight breaks which lead directly into the heartfelt alternative country ballad “In the Fall” with it’s whining Telecaster fills and Susan Costa’s achingly beautiful bruised harmonies as Richie Bean sings about loss and the circle of life and death. This is a recurring theme: In “Soul Survivors” the singer reminisces about his girlfriend, the love of his life who died in a drunken car wreck, which he survived. He is obsessed with her ...
