This' the first of the final chapters of the 102 vinyl series on Phonometak / Wallace records, as you can easily notice by giving a check to the catalogue the majority of the musicians covered are quite well-known. On the first side of this slab of vinyl we've got living legend Evan Parker on saxophone and Walter Prati on cello plus electronics, they've been frozen during two different live sets in Vancouver and in Verona. The opening track is a monochord mantra that goes from hypnotic to lightly obsessive, circular breathing and droning sensation. The second track is my favorite one and is driven by a more than inspired Parker that crosses a path he knows by heart, the mixdown sees Prati a bit behind the scenes but the global result is damn good, abstract and a bit jazzy. On the other side of the 10" I'm glad to mention there's that Lukas Ligeti I've loved so much in his "Williamsbourgh sonatas" together with Massimo Pupillo and Gianni Gebbia. Orecchia is an interesting musician, his touch on guitar and electronics is so elegant that he barely plays ambient music, he never sails on the drumming he moves in unison with it. The same approach has been used also for the second song in which it's hard to distinguish electronic drumming from real percussions and the recording with that "acoustic" feel helps in the melting process. The outro goes back to a sort of quasi-ambient mood, I can't say nothing but lovely!.
