Eddie Prevost (drums) & Veryan Weston (piano). Recorded in England, 5/98, mixed by Evan Parker. "'Beauty as an Ear Thing' is a meticulous exploration of texture, full of soft explosions, the reverberant ring of spinning metals, and overtones that glow like embers, dying into silence; this music wouldn't be misplaced on an AMM disc. 'Clustered' rebuilds something out of the emptiness. The dislocated rhythmic feel is like an abstraction of something Monk and Max Roach might have played together. 'Fingers and drums' also conveys the sense of inventing almost from scratch, asking 'what material?' and digging into it to find out. Finally, 'Hammer and Tonic' a roaring thing, leaps from the starting gate as if all questions were resolved long ago..." -- Steve Lake.
