THE AMBARCHI/HAINO/O'ROURKE TRIO IS BACK AGAIN AS A CLASSIC POWER TRIO (EXCEPT HAINO SOMETIMES PLAYS FLUTE) FOR THEIR ANNUAL MEETING OF MINDS, THIS TIME ON AMBARCHI'S HOME TURF IN AUSTRALIA.
THIS RELEASE IS ABSOLUTELY KILLER. HAINO PLAYS SKYSCRAPER GUITAR, SCREAMING SHEETS OF PLEASURENOISE OVER A RHYTHM SECTION WHO FIRST TRUDGE AROUND DOOMISHLY AND THEN OPEN UP TOWARD SOMETHING POLITELY FUNKY AND COSMIC. HAINO'S VOCALS ADD A LOT TO THIS TOO, EVEN IF I CAN'T TELL A WORD OF WHAT HE'S GHOSTLY WAILING ABOUT.
SIDE A PEAKS GLORIOUSLY AND REPRESENTS THE TRIO'S FINEST WORK TO DATE (FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THIS BLOG). SIDE B IS A LITTLE MORE OBTUSE BUT THEY GET TO THE GOOD STUFF. TOP BASS WORK FROM JIM HERE.
CERTIFIED: GOOD.
