"The new solo album by American maverick trumpeter Peter Evans, titled Beyond Civilized and Primitive after a thought provoking essay by philosopher Ran Prieur, is a heavyweight pressing and comes housed in hand-screenprinted wrap-around sleeves featuring the forceful brushwork of 15-year-old artist Owen Gould. Recorded during two sessions at Eastcote Studios, London, this album sees Evans push into uncharted territory by utilizing the recording facilities as compositional tools. Overdubbing and looping are the two significant techniques employed here to expand on Evans' already boundary-pushing musical exploits. The opening track, entitled 'complexity, change, invention, stability, giving, freedom, and both the past and the future' starts the album off in a quiet and concentrated, even demanding way exploring space and minute sounds. 'History is Broken,' a 12 minute circular breathing piece performed at breakneck speed, picks up the tempo and puts both Evans' and the listener's stamina to the test. In these first two tracks alone, Evans pushes his instrument and his lungs to its opposite extremes." Hand-numbered limited edition of 500 copies with insert.

"A sequel to his highly-acclaimed first solo CD More Is More on psi 06.08. Peter Evans writes: 'Over the past couple of years one of my main creative outlets has been solo trumpet performance. These discs are meant to show various aspects of my music's development and were recorded in two different settings (studio and concert) and under two different circumstances. Jazz musicians have often referred to the playing of a solo as 'telling a story,' which is essentially how I look at this music; it is an opportunity to state possibilities and tell stories that are short, long, true, false, unfinished, overlapping, fantastic and mundane.' 108 minutes."
