fan-f***ing-tastic!.......2007-05-14
This trio indulges in clever, sometimes swingin' yet surprisingly structured pieces that never disappoint. There are flashes of utter car- crash-pile-up-noise-delight and moments of soothing (bordering on ambient at times) passages. It is difficult to tell how much of this is improvized and how much is pre-written. I can only assume from the parties involved that there is a bulk of pre-rendering and the improvized solo spots. For all I know it is mostly improvized. Regardless of my speculative ramblings, IT IS BRILLIANT. I have followed my interests musically to this point and think that this is the crux of electro-fusion-jazz done right. The trio's first album, "debutantes & Centipedes" is every bit as good and well worth tracking down (if this sound is your thing)...for us weirdos who get off on the unpredictable and avant garde, this trio is heavenly and the culmination of all things musically exceptional.....
if you dig this trio, be sure to check out John Zorn and his label Tzadik.
but also investigate Richard Woodson's Ellipsis. He is a guitarist who grew up under similar circumstances to Trevor Dunn...and plays jazz spiced with the aggression of metal. His first album is on Cuneiform records (I LOVE THAT LABEL...ALL OF THEIR BANDS ARE OUTSTANDING!).
maybe I should do a Rich Woodson review, eh?
either way, this album is Aces and the best thing I have heard in a long time. Love the inclusion of harp on the song "the single petal of a rose". Oh what a masterpiece......buy it!
Vast Disappointment.......2006-08-08
Instead to my horror I found the most unbearable CD I have ever encountered. I am incredulous that the great Trevor Dunn could produce such uninspired crap. Why he hooked up with the world's most annoying guitar player and such a horrendous drummer I'll never understand. This is quite literally the worst CD I own in 30+ years of collecting. I rather listen beat my head against a wall, or be forced to listen to Yoko Ono or Phil Collins (!!!)than ever suffer through this garbage again. Please don't even fart in the general direction of this CD...it really is THAT bad. :(
Eatin' Tacos.......2005-07-05
That's what this ALBUM is all about. MAYBE it should be played on spaceships. PERHAPS NOT. But, maybe, you know?
Trevor Dunn good. (FALL ASLEEP TO THIS ALBUM).......2004-12-08
Potential 5 stars. Still growing on me........2004-11-23
I have been a devout fan of Mr. Bungle for quite sometime. All of these guys are great composers, Dunn being no exception. He has written some of my favorite pieces of music, including "Dead Goon," "Carry Stress in the Jaw," "Platypus," and "The Holy filament(sp?)."
With his trio, Dunn indulges his affinity for avant/free jazz with glowing results. There is plenty of structure here. The songs mostly follow a standard jazz format: Head, solos, head, out. The written material is harmonically expanded, very sophisticated stuff (of course) and Dunn really shows off his knowledge and musicality. The solo sections are most often "free" is the best sense of the term, slowly expanding upon the rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic motifs stated in the head.
The guitar playing is extremely odd, always erradic and sometimes annoying. For my taste, there is a bit too much high-pitched, frantic slide noise - kind of a Sonny Sharrock thing. It's interesting at first, but he seems to over-use this trick. But, like I said, it is still growing on me.
If you liked Bungle's Disco Volante and you also appreciate good avant improvisational music, this disc is perfect for you.
