I heard talk of a new cd from our buddy Michael Manring w/ Alex, and Herb. Anyone heard anything? Any thoughts on the original? I love it, especially considering most if it was improvised. [Edited by Zonplayer on 12-18-2000 at 09:14 AM]
Hi, I also have the first cd, and I kind of like it from time to time...although not all of it is improvised, I read somewhere. I think that was the case with the beginning of the fast track, the one after the "Pelican" song. And also with some "shared licks", you can't improvise those. I really like some of the songs, the e-bow is nice too. But for instance, the harmonies in the second song are just ugly in some parts. You can say "yes, but that's jazz", but jazz or not, I find it in my opinion to be very ugly sounding. I think I like the song before the last song the most, with all those cool harmonics, and the feel of the song is very disturbingly close. I can recommend the cd to anyone here.
