REVIEWS/////////////////////
Big band collaboration LP in the style of the Drapeau Noir album that pits a bunch of player associated with the free music scene around Lyons in France ? Motherfucking, I?m A Grizzly, Julien Dupont, Francois Virot, La 6eme Faute ? with members of the current crop of underground groups centered on Sheffield - Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides, Chora, Helhesten and Lanterns. In April 2008 the collective recorded a marathon five hour jam, of which this LP presents 35 minutes of highlights. The form ranges from obtuse NNCK-style navigations of the furthest fringes of form through lolloping almost International Harvester/Parson Sound-style psychedelic monoliths. (Volcanic Tongue)
You may not have heard of Faux Amis, but it seems to be an impromptu band around musicians from the scene in French city Lyon (including members of Motherfucking, I'm A Grizzly, Julien Dupont, Francois Virot, La 6eme Faute) and new heroes on the same musical block, from the UK, with members of Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides, Helhesten, Chora and Lanterns. Some of these might have been in Vital Weekly before, or perhaps I saw some of them somewhere (mainly the UK part of this, actually). Ten members of these bands came together on the 22nd of April 2008 and recorded a five hour jam, of which you will find about thirty-four minutes on this record. Recorder is placed in the middle and let's roll. Free rock improvisation, based around some loosely given tunes or cues (perhaps). Raw energy at work here, lo-fi recording at work too, but its all quite pleasant stuff. Think No Neck Blues-band type of music, but even more chaotic improvised. Quite nice.(FdW)
Extracts from recordings at Grrrnd Zero in Lyon, France from some of the most exciting improv guys around at the moment. Really strong package. (Colour Ride)
