Like others here I have been disappointed with the lack of certain jazz labels and releases on the new emusic. But I am away next week for 10 days in Tuscany when my refresh is due. So I'm trying to use up all my credits before going. Of the seven albums I've already downloaded today I hope I'll like some! This is sounding good so far.
Aha! But should we have made the plot public so soon?
The excellent track 4 reminds me very much of one of my all time favourite releases from the early Netlabel days:
1000 Hours of Staring - The Seagull
Hot on the heels of their debut EP at Serein, 'Cooperative Thread', it
is time again to welcome 1000 Hours of Staring to the Serein catalogue.
The lineup this time includes David Daranjo and Mike Kazantsis working
alongside Mike Ramsey. This change in ranks marks also a distinct change
in sound for the group, leaving behind the gentle melodies of
'Cooperative Thread' in favour of densely layered sound.
Thick with the tones of guitars, keyboards and whispers of vocal samples
and field recordings, 'The Seagull' is a composition of epic
proportions. Listening to the piece, I can't help but recall memories of
bands such as Ash Ra Tempel and Tangerine Dream, and that's no bad
thing. With its distant guitar drones and modulating, pulsing
soundscapes, each minute drags you deeper into the sleepy world where
1000 Hours of Staring make their home.
This is a piece of music to explore, a fairy-tale story revealing new
adventures wich each listen. This is one for life's daydreamers.
Beautiful artwork from Alanna Gladstone compliments once more.
My first Miles and still a favourite despite it being all the albums it isn't... if you get my drift. I went from there to Circle In The Round and never looked back.
