Wer Ambient & Elektronik mit interessanten Percussioninhalte und -passagen von Shrieve erwartet, wie auf "Transfer Station Blue" oder "The Big Picture" oder "The Leaving Time", der wird hier nicht begeistert sein und auch nicht angenehm befriedigt sein...
Bellissimo album dai toni onirici e introspettivi. Unico nel suo genere (non è jazz, non è rock) anche grazie al raffinato e minimale lavoro di Torn e Summers e alle intense melodie di Isham.
Grâce à Mark Isham, cela sonne comme du bon Miles Davis. Cet ancien batteur de Santana a fait son chemin en choisissant le jazz. Son parcours est intéressant. Ce CD est à mettre entre toutes les mains.
This CD is somewhat difficult to categorize. I'd call it a jazz disc, but jazz purists might dismiss it as "New Age." The playing is hardly Kenny G drivel, but Mark Isham's Miles-Davis-esque moody solos do give it a rather cinematic quality. If you don't mind the slightly pretensious quality of this performance, I think you'd realy like it. I personally LOVE "Moon Over You," which nicely combines Andy Summers' spooky guitar work with a nice latin undercurrent.
Michael Shrieve does a great job on this, and unlike some releases by drummers, he doesn't dominate the proceedings. There are no extended drum solos; no wild drum-based pieces meant to show off his chops. He's a powerful player, but this is a true ensemble effort that really shows off Mark Isham more than anyone else.
It's a shame this CD is out of print, but there are many used copies still available through Amazon. I picked one up for only $3 to replace my vinyl copy I bought back in the day, and it's been great to have a digital copy. This is definitely worth a listen!
This is one of my favorite records, I have had it so long it is on tape and I am writing this to re-up on CD. I don't listen to this a lot, mostly in my car as it lends itself to the long winding roads where I live. One thing the previous reviewer left out is David Torn on guitar, this adds a lot to the vibe, and the comparison to miles is also way off, if I had to put it in a bucket it would be more ECM but that's the thing,it doesn't fit anywhere else. it has a nice slow groove and can get a little "spooky" in spots... It is an awesome work though, The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is I reserve that for things like kind of Blue.
If you like this CD, may I also suggest; David Torn, Cloud about Mercury Kenny Wheeler, Der Wan Bill frissel (Lookout for hope, Power tools, ECM years) Steve Tibbits
