I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.

New Porticos record, just released - this is their most overtly committed recording to Reichian minimalist serialism.
I've had it on more or less constant play today - I'm swithering between thinking it's the best thing they've ever done, or it's an audacious experiment which doesn't quite work.
Fascinated to know what youse guys think!!
Still waiting on it.

This is exactly how it struck me, Ian. If I'd heard it without all of their music that has preceded it, I think I might have been tempted to disregard it. But in the context of that music, it becomes a more singular endeavour.
In the third track, especially, I started to hear the influence of Jack Wylie's recent collaboration with Senegalese drummers, & more pieces began to fall into place.
TBH, I haven't been much of a fan since the Automation, but I guess I haven't got over the phasing out of the Hang drums.
Will listen carefully this one, as usual.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
The hang drums provide the initial pulse on the first & longest track on this outhng, Trane. They oscillate between two similar patterns, one more complex, the other more simple & with a dominant downbeat.
Anyone else been listening to Nik Bärtsch's new album on ecm, Entendre?

All of the pieces are for solo piano, & many are rearrangements of Moduls from Ronin or Mobile records.
I think that this one is really going to reward multiple listenings!

"YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE ME RELEASE A CD OF YOU FRENCH GOOFBALLS DOING SOFT MACHINE SONGS"
That's the one one canceled gig that really annoyed me last year.

"a raucous, foot-stomping journey through the dreich underbelly of Glasgow's emergent jazz scene."
Always keen to explore dreich underbellies
Update - boy oh boy, I'm listening now, & am just into track 2, & it's brilliant - a turbo charged outing that calls to mind Theon Cross + Moses Boyd + Shabaka.

This is a beauty! - it's a bit like the way in which the short songs of Hammill's Fool's Mate were a complement to the intensity of Pawn Hearts; so, with this one, these are uplifting, dance oriented, short tunes which complement the density of Terrain (which I love, btw).
