Thanks handsomefortune and charles. A chance at last to hear MOPDTK and make up my own mind about this controversial band. The downloader won't initialise for some reason - maybe 'cos the system happens to be sluggish this evening, so I'll try again in the morn.

Just managed to get that link to work, thanks again Charles. About halfway through it's starting to drain me. They're good musicians, no question, but old-time eclectics, and not as radical as I'd expected. More Mingus than AACM or Zorn. They're probably best experienced in the flesh... by people who "get" their sort of humo(u)r.

Yes, indeed, Serialist. A straight ahead group - no doubt about it. But, the price to audit is fair! Peter Evans' release - Ghosts - is quite 'out-there' as well as his work alongside (guitar) Mary Halvorson.

[Serial_Apologist]

It's high time I heard the much-vaunted Mr Evans in congenial contexts, Charles. Mary Halvorsen is just terrific - having heard her in company with Ingrid Laubrock at the Vortex earlier this year.

Tougher stuff this, but I'm glad someone's still attempting to "exxpand the permissible in the empire of sound" (Debussy on The Rite of Spring) - even if she had to b***** off to New York to find out exactly what it was.

> Tougher stuff <

yes.

it reminds me a little bit of mr bungle terratory, as also influenced john zorn, who worked with bungle (early 2000s)? sort of frenetic and knowing ... (nearly always a great contrast to laboured, cliched, naive)?

derek bailey might be interested in joining them ,...that'd be good.


halvorsOn - (perdon my sp btw)

Indeed, some do seem to believe improv allows access to the spirit world

Mary Halvorson, for me, seems to exemplify a pure introspective style...reflective in composure...contemplative, if you will?

Anyways, a polar opposite of simply throwing-out riffs...what-have-you.
