The latest effort by Australia's super trio the Necks is a darkly swirling journey into sound that encompasses jazz, rock, and hypnotic grooves, all organically played without loops or samples, to brilliant effect. Like a mirror image of Manuel Gottsching's classic E2-E4, Drive By is one long track -- over 60 minutes. It unfolds gradually. Chris Abrahams keyboards create the pulse that is gradually taken over by Lloyd Swanton's bassline. It's less than a handful of notes that creates the effect, but the layering of Tony Buck's drumming, and Abrahams multi-textured keyboards over the framework, is positively mind-bending, this is only ten minutes into the piece! The dynamic is controlled and channeled through the middle, keeping the vibe of the piece moody, dark, and full of a controlled menace that gives way to a dreamy, shimmering gloss of ether and darkness. Great washes of synth sound come undulating through the backdrop intermittently, organ riffs course in contrapuntal rhythmic lines against Buck's ever prominent bassline, and a piano slithers through almost imperceptibly, as its seemingly random placement is off-kilter and ever surprising. The sense of relaxed ambivalence grows exponentially in the listener, though very gradually. By the time it ends, there is nothing but a mantra of excess for the pulse itself, and a warped sense of time and space echoing in the listening room, pervading every surface inner, outer, and secret. Sleep isn't recommended, though an overwhelming sense of dream prevails. This is a remarkable, resoundingly brilliant album: that from such restraint so much flows. There are literally nuanced sonic universes contained here, all of them subtle, all of them uncoiling with elegance and steamy tension; they give way to a release that is unmentionably beautiful and seductively sinister. ~ Thom Jurek

Live Recording

The Necks: Chris Abraham, Lloyd Swanton, Tony Buck.

Uncut (4/04, p.104) - 5 stars out of 5 - "Somewhere between The KLF's CHILL OUT and The Boredoms' VISION CREATION NEWSUN, this is an accessible, breathtaking and at times profoundly moving record."

Allman Brothers Band Dreams CDs  (1989) Box Set

DREAMS is a 4-CD box set compiling in chronological order tracks by the Allman Brothers Band, as well as tracks by bands featuring one or more member of the Allman Brothers Band and solo performances by Gregg Allman and Dickey Betts. Recorded between 1966 & 1988. Includes a 32-page illustrated booklet and liner notes by John Swenson. Like nearly all box sets, DREAMS has plenty to recommend it-and a few nagging drawbacks. The set's chief shortcoming is its two conflicting goals: providing an overview of the Allmans' history, thus attracting buyers seeking the ultimate ...

Thank You
86 The Band Thank You CD  (2006)

Drive By songs
CD $16.45
The Story of 86 the BandOnce upon a time there was a band called 86 the band.They were called 86 the band because they were, in fact, a band, and they wanted to be very clear about this. They practiced their songs in a tiny shed in Oakland, California. They believed very much in what they were doing except when faced with the doubts that we all face, in which case they didn’t believe in it. But they forged ahead, and in forging ahead, set off on the classical journey that we all must take at some point in search of the self and enlightenment. In other words, they wanted to ROCK. As they grew older, their friends became adults, got real jobs, houses, and had kids, while 86 The Band continued to play their hand-crafted songs in their tiny shed in Oakland. It is a sad and beautiful tale but a tale I never tire of telling. They were pursuing a dream, inspired by the great rock bands of yore and today: The Byrds, the Velvet Underground, Creedence Clearwater Revival, R.E.M., Wilco, Pavement, Grandaddy and this band from England you may have heard of called the Beatles. Their first record released in 2000 is called “True Life Songs and Pictures” and their second one released in 2003 is called “Hooray For Music” because music is generally acknowledged to be a good thing that should be celebrated with exclamatory shouting, preferably by kindegarten children. 86 the band has played many, many memorable and fun shows in the San francisco Bay Area as well as in Portland, Seattle, Sacramento, Fresno, Marin county, and Los Angeles. For a little while there it looked like 86 the Band had finally been 86’d. Banjo player Andy wanted to spend more time with his wife and kids (who could blame him? The fabled rock n’ roll lifestyle ...
Waits & Measures
Pete Robbins Waits & Measures CD  (2006)

Drive By album
CD $14.79  Audio Samples
Pete Robbins' music is consistently intriguing. The rhythms are complex and sometimes rock-oriented though usually more subtle. The improvising by altoist Robbins and Sam Sadigursky on tenor and bass clarinet seems free at times but is often quite melodic and tied in to the individual themes. Robbins' originals are quirky and unusual although not individually memorable. But the freewheeling yet controlled mood of the music is quite original and the main reason that Waits & Measures is recommended. In addition, Elliot Krimsy's versatility on electric piano is an asset. It would be interesting, though, to hear how Pete Robbins dealt with stronger melodies ~ Scott Yanow Liner Notes to "Waits and Measures":What does modern jazz sound like? Though the answer is as complex and varied as the individual artists performing in today’s environment; one thing is for certain; saxophonist Pete Robbins is answering the question in his own way on Waits and Measures.Robbins continues to expose a stylistic and free approach that was first heard on his auspicious 2002 debut (Centric, Telepathy Records.) The highly enjoyable recording not only showed depth but also a distinct voice that was open to change. It becomes clear as one listens to the new recording that Robbins has an acute understanding of jazz as an art-form but more importantly is striving to create music that is moving in new directions with his ideas of “Fewer solos, more of a rock feel, more sections per tunes, less "jazzy" harmony,… and letting the band speak through composed sections and not just improvised ones ...” A mindset that is more than likely fueled by his environment and diverse influences. Since moving to New York in 2002 Robbins has flourished in the city’s creative music scene performing in a variety of venues and styles such ...
