... we all loved to be young and new but now it is winter

[Quarky]

Many thanks indeed for getting in ahead of me in mentioning this.

The idea of an Evan Parker composition is a new one to me and seems to go against the grain - one wonders if they'll all have neeeded to be trained to circular-breathe! I see our good friend Richard is in the line-up, along with his associate from FURT Mr Obermayer. Should be very interesting.

Yes, a lot to get hold of, but repeated listening is rewarded. As Evan says, no bass player, no rhythm section, and it's beyond free jazz. But there is rhythm there, and great interplay between the musicians - I'm assuming the greater part was improvised. Jazz musicians freed of the tyranny of the rhythm section? At other times, when the electronics took over, I was reminded of Stockhausen.
