Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Trumpeter Mark Isham is a familiar name in the movie soundtrack world, his "personal" albums enjoying a comparatively underground status. Long in thrall to the Harmon-mute sound of Miles Davis, Isham has finally decided to launch officially what's been a bubbling-under concept band since 1995. Choosing Miles's late-60s/early-70s electrified groups as his template, he's flanked by guitarists Peter Maunu and Steve Cardenas, the quintet completed by Doug Lunn (bass) and Michael Barsimanto (drums). Although recorded live, the set tends to sound more like a particularly humid studio session, audience noise being almost non-existent. Rather than attempting to ape the period sound, Isham updates, lashing together rock and funk, re-interpreting "Milestones", "It's About That Time", even going right back to "All Blues". He also contributes a pair of his own tunes, penned in sympathetic mode. The title track involves gently probing, opalescent guitars, then "Right Off" jumps in, cranking out the powerchords, bass becoming oily over driving drums. Isham maintains the pace on his own "Internet", pitch-strangling guitar solos alternating with a needling, extremely catchy ensemble theme, horn heavily treated with electronics. The 15-minute "Spanish Key" has a tendency to ramble over its course, but the choppy wah-wah and heavy-rumbling guitar joust of "Black Satin" ensures the album ends with a hectic rush. --Martin Longley
