Gold Star Ballroom: Foxtrot album
 $9.35   
One of the Canterbury scene's most revered bands, Hatfield and the North made up for the brevity of their career with some fascinating music. Always adventurous, the quartet had the keen sense to realize that only the most hardened jazz fans respond to numerous key changes and exceedingly complex time signatures, and thus enlivened their live set with the odd gnome smashing, suggestive lyrics, and jokey song titles. It worked a charm, with the band quickly amassing a large, loyal following at home in Britain and across the continent. On their eponymous debut, Hatfield stunningly succeeded in translating both their sense of fun and their musical brilliance onto disc. After a bit of light humor, the band slide into "Going Up to People and Tinkling", which glides gloriously across the keys and rhythm shifts. Both "Calyx" and "Aigrette" experiment with vocals as an instrument, while the exuberant "Rifferama" is a master class on the use of ...

Gold Star Ballroom: Foxtrot CD music
$9.19
Hatfield and the North's second LP stands as a high watermark for the prog rock associated with England's Canterbury scene and, while filled with stunning musicianship, demonstrates both the strengths and some of the weaknesses of the Hatfield style. Dave Stewart on keyboards, Phil Miller on guitar, Richard Sinclair on bass and vocals, and Pip Pyle on drums (supplemented by a few guest instrumentalists and the ever-ethereal Northettes with their "la la" backing vocals) generally show an admirable sense of restraint and, like their Canterbury peers, are careful to avoid the pomposity and bombast of better-known prog rockers of the era, such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Yes. But the Hatfields might actually have been light to a fault, particularly whenever a segue from one of their convoluted instrumental passages into a Richard Sinclair vocal vehicle occurred. Sinclair shares a bit of Robert Wyatt's singing approach, or at least Wyatt's more whimsical side, but his polite and mellow croon, while pleasant, is less idiosyncratic and ultimately ...

Gold Star Ballroom: Foxtrot songs

This collaboration between sound artist Marcus Schmickler and free-reed instrument player Hayden Chisholm is best summed up by its title, Amazing Daze. It consists of two 20-minute drone pieces designed to put listeners quickly into a dazed trance and keep them there, as long as they are willing to lose their grip on reality. In the title piece, dedicated to minimalist composer/filmmaker Phill Niblock, Chisholm plays the bagpipes, which are multiplied, evened out, and fractalized into odd harmonics by Schmickler and his electronics and computer. In the second track, titled "Infinity in the Shape of a Poodle," Chisholm plays shô, a traditional free-reed wind instrument from Japan. The sound spectrum of that piece is higher, with a glass-like quality, and it builds up almost to a frenzy as Schmickler plays more with wave patterns, pushing harmonics out of phase to make them collide in a menacing way. The shô's "real" line resurfaces in the last few seconds, frail and lonely, the improbable source of all the sonic turmoil that has just unfolded. The album works well as a study in microtonal droning, but it demands from the listener a strong commitment to the music -- get up for a glass of water and the magic is gone. And even if you stay fully attentive for the whole duration of the album, there is no guarantee that you will "feel" that magic operating. However, if you do, the experience is very special and worthy of your time. ~ François Couture
