Ghost in the Machine featuring Evan Parker (1996)


This 1993 date featured British saxophone and improvisation deity Evan Parker with Copenhagen's Ghost-in-the-Machine trio and Martin Klapper on electronics. This traditional quartet -- saxophones, bass, drums, and piano -- added Klapper to extend the sonic possibilities of all the instruments, which were amplified by microphones. The results are studies more in texture, atmospherics, and sonic constructions than they are in spontaneous composition. They hold the listener's interest simply because there is no way to predict what direction any particular passage, let alone entire piece, will take. This quintet was making music for its own edification, for its own sense of investigation and discovery -- and that's just fine. The more outside a work's context the listener is placed in -- especially with improvised music -- the deeper one is required to listen to find a common bridge to the sonic language spoken on the recording.

Enlarge to full page ( I did this and all the links work ) , the small page cuts off the end of the link . They are invidual files for each song as I am not good at uploading and do it rarely . Brave check out http://scratchyattic.blogspot.com/ . this is a friend of mine and his collection is mind blowing , I know as I have been searching for records with this guy for years , it has started with a bang and it is going to keep getting louder

Thanks for all the gifts, Steve. I'm particularly curious about your Americana recording.
Cheers and thanks.
