I'm finding the album perfectly cogent - nothing weird or abstract there at all really. From what I was reading here I was expecting Stockhausen meets Pere Ubu in a cauldron stirred by The Residents, but no - some lovely instrumentals and great playing.
Nice one Bill and Reeves! I look forward to part two should there be one.
Right . I don't see 'it' (music in general) being about overcoming challenges so much as it is simply about alignment, for me . Alignment and a certain kind of 'energetic' (emotional,viscereal, spiritual aspects , all rolled into something more) compatability. It's isn't hard to 'understand' Fantastic Guitars ; it isn't some foreign language or
obscure scientific minutae I don't have the knowledge base to comprehend ; it's sounds, timbres, rhythms, twangulation extrapolations . Some of it annoys me, some of it intrigues me, some of it sends me into cosmic spasms of glee. It's all good ... great, in fact . It just doesn't all work for me the way I need music to . Much of it does though
