One of the more irritating records I've listened to a while. If not for some inspired Nistico, out it would go.

Why was it irritating? Tracey's Monkisms? The bass-drum team? Based on limited experience, I thought Themen was a reasonable player.

It's all wrong, except for Sal. It doesn't sound or feel like anything other than irritating. The time is in some unfriendly pocket (if in a pocket at all), the tones are not holistic, everything is OBVIOUS in a way that speaks of cluelessness about meaning, it's just very, very irritating to me.

Just finished:

Not irritating. Also not a lot of any number of other things as well, but not irritating.

LISTEN, WHITEY! The Sounds of Black Power 1967-1974.  Various, Light in the Attic records and tapes.  

[Larry Kart]

Don't care for the trumpeter who's on a few tracks, but Foster and the rhythm section are slamming.

Ned Goold delivers one of the worst performances I've ever heard. Personnel is not given, but I assume the pianist is Sacha Perry. I spent good money on this.

He's on the front cover of Q magazine, of all things, this week. Holding up a vinyl copy of Peter Brotzmann's Machine Gun.

2020's been a weird year.
