Ex Wiseheads Discography of CDs

Ex Wiseheads music CDs Ex-Wise Heads have been making music, performing and recording since 1997. They have released two albums and played at various Festivals and venues, mainly in the South East UK. Originally a duo comprising former Henry Cow saxophonist/flautist Geoff Leigh and bassist Colin Edwin, of cult UK band Porcupine Tree, the addition of multi percussionist Vincent Salzfaas added the spark they were searching for in their quest to explore a rootsy and experimental, yet accessible form of music, both 'World Music' influenced and curiously English at the same time. First album "No Grey Matter" features seven strong tracks showcasing a variety of moods using both unusual instrumentation and plenty of trio interaction. From the opener "Lost Tango" with it's humourous interlude, to the closing funk space jam of "Cushion" Ex-Wise Heads take you on a sonic journey that manages to be both engaging and entertaining at the same time. Highlights include the spiritual "Spirit Dance" and the intense gnawa influenced trance of "Song For Jalil". No Grey Matter has spontaneity at every corner ...

Ex Wiseheads discography TIME AND EMOTION STUDY is the thoughtful and innovative release from the jazz-rock band, which features 10 expressive songs. Originally released in 2002, the second album from the Ex-Wise Heads sees the trio of Geoff Leigh (Ex-Henry Cow), Porcupine Tree's Colin Edwin and percussionist Vincent Salzfass joined on five of the ten tracks by guest violinist Peter Knight (Steeleye Span). Unusual instrumental combinations, refreshing catchy tunes, strong moods and a healthy dose the increasingly rare commodity of originality make this a strong outing for the first incarnation of Ex-Wise Heads.
