Classifica Hit Parade 69-70 CD - Import

\"\"\'Unrefined\' is the result of a series of late night jam sessions and recordings, created \'in the moment\'; the overall atmosphere is redolent of quiet and deserted lamp-lit streets at four in the morning, or sitting alone with eyes half-open in an all-night diner with only a cigarette, a cup of coffee and the night staff for company; a time when the rest of the world is asleep and wandering the limitless environs of dreamland; that quiet time when nature is anticipating with collective bated breath the dawning of the new day. The recordings are unpolished, the music unpremeditated and left \'as is\', with some sharp edges that bring a certain warmth and immediacy to them. As Keiller has himself pointed out he \"...has no recollection of playing and recording...\" these pieces due to \"... being half asleep...\" Indeed there\'s a certain dreamily soporific quality wrapping itself around the music, like a warm inviting blanket, and the listener is invited to share both the warmth and the blanket.
