no more crazy women, please.

you heard me.

Arthur Doyle would agree too, since he released a one-sided album on the mighty Qbico entitled "No More Crazy Women." it's full of his usual bombastic sax, a little muttering and wildness, and even a little elctronic manipulations. this is a short listen and an interesting one.

for fans of free-jazz, the qbico label, and crazy women.

sorry, no cover scans and qbico's website seems to be out of order.

the finns aren't known for their free jazz...

maybe they should be?

rauhan orkesteri are a free jazz combo (featuring a tolvi brother or so...) that spit and sputter through four tracks of sparse and spluttry reeds. really interesting, and never boring. this is a good listen. it's short and it's a fresh take on a genre that isn't seen too much from the folkers of there region. they had an lp on Qbico too. yeah.

sorry for the little update. i'm on a weird computer (the keys stick. i hate that.) and just don't feel like typing a lot.

keeping the Qbico coming to the masses, pt. 4

ok, this next one will be a much easier to stomache release for most of you. Coffee's "Pissing Contest" sounds just like that: a free jazz ensemble who are trying to outdo each other in making a sonic bombardment that will destroy your sentiments of what you think traditional jazz should be. this is truly free music, with horns being echoed and overdubbed, and a drummer that sounds like he's playing two kits (though that could be the echo...).

the b-side, however, is a MUCH different affair, being mostly electronic. there are synthesizers here bleeping around and making a repetetive siren-esque moan that will fry your brains just enough to make you think the horns are synth as well, and then when you can't think anymore they fuck with your head EVEN MORE with scrapes and scratches and reversed recordings.

this is a truly strange record. it's pretty awesome though, and really pretty to look at (besides the black and white cover). for fans of noisy free jazz freakouts.
