2001 release for the maverick bass player and the leading jazz improv saxophonist. Four tracks.
Taking as their inspiration the Greek myth of Orpheus, European improv king Evan Parker (tenor and soprano saxophone) and Invaders of the Heart alumni Clive Bell and Jean-Pierre Rasle invest in a series of stark, repetitive bass and drum structures on Passage to Hades. At the music's core is the rhythm axis of Jah Wobble and Mark Sanders. The duo maps out the territory, delivering all that's required and more through minimal means. It's a refreshing change of scenery for Parker, who's normally heard in avant-garde ensembles or blazing solo performances. Here, he's confined to a stark, muscular groove and he responds beautifully. Like the later recordings by John Coltrane (an early influence), the saxophonist unleashes an abundance of dialog on his instruments, though he never quite reaches the torrents of sound one might expect. Driven by his conception of rhythm, rather than conventional lyricism, Parker's blurry lines circle, flutter, and throb as they pour from his instrument. The slow procession of the title track kicks things off. Wobble never strays from his simple assignment, managing to make the elementary bassline sound totally engaging across 13-plus minutes. This is his dub sensibility at work: start with the essentials. Bell's harmonica and Thai pi flute and Ralse's bagpipes thread the mix like Augustus Pablo melodica lines and reverb-drenched keyboard fragments, tangling with Parker's sax. None of these songs are concerned with conventional structure beyond the patterns laid out at the start. The journey, rather, is in the way the players mine the groove with resourcefulness and restraint that always adds to the overall power. ~ Nathan Bush
Personnel includes: Jah Wobble (bass); Evan Parker (saxophone); Clive Bell, Jean Pierre Rasle, Mark Sanders.

Passage To Hades album
 $15.25   
After the dark and chilling themes of 2006's BLACK CADILLAC, which saw Rosanne Cash dealing with the deaths of her mother, Vivian Liberto, her father, Johnny Cash, and her stepmother, June Carter Cash -- all of whom passed within a two-year span -- one might assume that her next project would move into an even deeper level of bleakness, but with THE LIST, it's immediately clear that she has instead found a more measured place to stand. It's a lovely and redemptive outing that looks back to go forward. When Cash turned 18, her father, alarmed that his daughter only knew the songs that were getting played on the radio, gave her a list of what he considered 100 essential American songs; Cash kept that list, and now she's drawn on it for this wonderfully nuanced outing that brims with a kind of redemptive timelessness. THE LIST is a renewal and a testament to life, and it belongs to her father as much as it belongs to her, a beautiful restatement of her ...

$13.65
Canadian duo Kate & Anna McGarrigle's first two albums (their self-titled 1976 debut and 1977's DANCER WITH BRUISED KNEES) engendered a unanimous critical cheer. 1982's LOVE OVER AND OVER is the spiritual kin to these albums. It is, fittingly, another winner--gorgeous, heartbreaking songs abound. Warm and inventive both lyrically and musically, each composition heads straight for the heart. The sisters write separately (except for some occasional lyrics), ...

Centered on lead vocalists Rein Fuks and Eve Komp, Estonian band Pia Fraus are often referred to as neo-shoegaze, and in that sense do bring to mind the blissful and buried harmonies of My Bloody Valentine and Stereolab. Featuring warm production from the sympathetically minded Norman Blake of Scotland's Teenage Fanclub, 2008's After Summer finds the ...
