RELEASE DATE

2006 release. Paradigm Discs presents this much in-demand reissue of the first album from
Gravity Adjusters Expansion Band
from 1973. Although the Gravity Adjusters Expansion Band (GAEB) started in 1967, they remain one of the long-lost and underestimated groups that explored the areas of sound sculpture, improvisation, experimental music and free jazz. The group have their roots in playing in and around the San Francisco Bay Area, and finally recorded their first LP in Los Angeles. Free jazz drummer
Lee Charlton
seamlessly shifts the moods from jazzy phrasing into the far more abstracted ideas of the world of sound sculpture. It is this abstract world where the GAEB mostly reside, using the invented instruments of multi-media artist
Richard Waters
, many of whose percussive and bowed instruments incorporate water-filled resonators to bend and tune the sound. Although many other improvisers at the time like
AMM
,
MEV
,
Sonde
and
Taj Mahal Travellers
all made extensive use of home-made and adapted instruments, the GAEB are a very different concern with their own unmistakable identity. Their first LP
One
appeared in 1973 on Nocturne Records, a small Californian label. It was the first of their two LPs, the second appearing some eight years later. This CD edition is a reissue of the first LP from the master tapes and also contains some 15 minutes of extra material from the time.
