"This first vinyl offering by a sporadically 20-something years unit, still extant, originally assembled under the name
Cinema Soloriens
by filmmaker/musician
James Harrar
in 1993, to play accompaniment to his films. The line-up usually includes legendary
Sun Ra
alto master (and current
Arkestra
leader)
Marshall Allen
with Harrar (who is also known for his work with
Arthur Doyle
and
Daevid Allen
), plus whoever else is tapped. For this date, recorded in Nashville back in 2016, the quartet was completed by a pair of under-documented musicians from the Atlanta underground -- jazz percussionist,
Kenito Murray
, and new music-oriented bassist,
Maxwell Boecker
. Together, the quartet unspools out two side long gushes of splotchy pan-generic FLOW. The music this stuff most resembles (if you really need a genre peg to hang it on) is probably jazz. The blend of electronics and reeds certainly brings to mind warped passages of many private press early '70s improv LPs, although most of those ended up devolving into funky traffic jams. Anywhere on
Aerials and Antennas
, the music starts to do something that might be described as 'simmering,' things quickly get weird. A horn takes off for Saturn, a voice starts mumbling as though spare change was just one prayer away, or the electronics emerge from wherever they were hiding to begin alien discussions. Not sure if there was a film shown with this or not, but the effect is cinematic. There's a great and blobby light show going on in my head the whole time it plays, never quite deciding which direction its audacious motion is headed, but always looking for an exit door otherwise hidden by the dull planes of reality. Nice work.
Aerial and Antennas
makes for a gloriously stoned listen, as mysterious in its motives as that second
Charlie Nothing
LP. And what the fuck was that one about?" --
Byron Coley
, 2019 Edition of 500.
