_________________

"Act Five, Scene One" is an hour-long instrumental piece that features the trio of David Grubbs, Tony Conrad, and Dan Brown. You'll find it divided into four psychedelically digestible fifteen-minute slices. Ah, the places you'll go -- it's an hour of sawing and banging and riffing and cutting and (let's not mince words) shapeshifting. What the hell. . . here are a few possible reference points: Brian Eno's Music for Films and Discreet Music; Rodney Graham's Verwandlungsmusik; Workshop's longer pieces; Sun Ra (New Stream mode); The Fall (but languorous and wordless); Bruce Witsiepe's guitar sound on the first Circle X record. Also highway driving (solitary); a pinball game; a dream about breathing underwater.

"Windows: The Music of Steve Lacy takes us somewhere altogether different. The first thing you may notice is that only half the collection's six pieces are Lacy compositions. Or that Mats does Lacy via fluteophone and tenor and baritone saxes -- no soprano. The fluidity and swing of Lacy's compositions (add to this Cecil Taylor's 'Louise', which Lacy recorded in 1961) frequently give way to the monumental stasis of a single gesture, the damn-the-world focus of which strongly recalls Gustaffson's singular playing on his previous Blue Chopsticks release Apertura."
