Discipline (CD/DVD-Audio)
Veröffentlicht im Jahre 1981 war "Discipline" eine überraschende Neu-Erfindung mit einem neuen Line-Up und einem radikal anderen Material, das die Fans begeisterte, die Kritiker verwirrte und gleichzeitig ein großes neues Publikum mitnahm. 30 Jahre später ist "Discipline" immer noch eines der Schlüssel-Alben der 80er und eines der populärsten King Crimson Alben. Das neue Quartett mit Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew (ex-Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads) und Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel) etablierte sich schnell als starke Kraft im Live-Bereich. Die langen Songs der 60 und frühen 70er und die ausgiebigen Improvisationen ihrer Live-Auftritte wurden durch eine Serie von kurzen und straffen Songs mit einer minimalistischen Ästhetik versehen, die komplexe und verwobene Gitarren-Linien, Belews eigene Art zu singen, Brufords neues Arsenal an elektronischen Percussions und Levins flüssige Bass &, Chapman Stick Linien featureten. Wie die anderen Alben der CD/DVD-A King Crimson Reihe, enthält die Stereo CD den neuen Mix von Robert Fripp &, Steven Wilson, während die DVD-Audio einen 5.1. Mix von Steven Wilson, High-Resolution Stereo Mixe des originalen und des neuen Stereo-Mixes sowie weitere Bonusmaterial enthält.- Shop: odax

Inflation
Ricky Ginsburg - Percussion/vocals Todd Rourke - Bass Guitar/ Vocals Dan Dronseiko - Guitar/Vocals Brian Horan - Drums/ Vocals Growing up more or less around the corner from one another in the middle class Boston suburb of Chelmsford, Ricky Ginsburg, Todd Rourke, Dan Dronseiko, and Brian Horan had no reason to suspect that as childhood ended and decision time came calling they'd find themselves thrown together into the most creatively fulfilling and challenging pursuit of their lives. Three Percent, a band that came together around Ricky, Todd, Dan, and Brian's mutual respect for each other's musicianship as well as a collective desire to aggressively reach out to people with their music, may have initially evolved out of Ricky and Dan's experiences playing together in high school bands, when the two of them were into punk, metal, and the harder side of rock. But by the time the duo had returned to Chelmsford after a year of college in the summer of '97, their musical horizons had expanded exponentially, and by the fall of that year they'd hooked up with two like-minded players, bassist Todd Rourke and drummer Brian Horan. And out of those initial jam sessions grew a chemistry that was based on placing no limits on where they might head musically. 'We all were influenced by the Beatles, the Dead, and Phish,' Ginsburg points out, 'And I think that's what put us over the edge. Some of the guys might shy away from openly admitting that we're part of any jam-band scene, but what really inspired me personally was when I went to my first Phish show and my first Dead show and saw all these bands doing it on such a large scale without the help of MTV or radio play. I think all of us went to a big show that influenced us and inspired us to form this band. We didn't want to mess around: we were into how many people can be moved by all this.' Like all good bands, though, Three Percent started off small, building an organic following through countless club gigs in and around Boston. They opened for bands like Gruvis Malt, Acoustic Junction, Ominous Seapods, and even played a Ralph Nader Convention event at the FleetCenter. They released a three song demo in the fall of '99 and followed that up with a 10-song full-length tilted Cobblestone Interstate in 2000. Local radio shows like WBCN's Boston Emissions, and college stations like Emerson's WERS helped spread the word, while Three Percent continued to develop as a band with no borders - a foursome equally capable of writing a Beatlesque hook and of embarking on fluid extended jams. 'We're a rock band, but we also do a little bit of funk and bluegrass,' Ginsburg explains. 'We even do a little bit of trance. We don't incorporate electronic elements but we do incorporate house beats, and our guitarist is pretty expansive. The result is something like disco meets funk meets trance and house in the format of a rock song. It's upbeat, goodtime, danceable music. I mean, the way we looked at is is that there are a lot of jam bands that try to be good song writers. But I think we were good songwriters to begin with, who just happened to want to be expansive and to incorporate a lot of styles.' With five years of hard, yet enjoyable work under their belts, building the kind of trust and determination it takes to make the leap to the next level, Three Percent headed back into the studio to record a followup to Cobblestone Interstate. The result, Inflation, is a fully realized document of four unique players operating at the top of their game, a disc that captures all of the elements that have made Three Percent such a consistently exciting live band. 'Call Before You Leap,' the disc's second track, is a refined, hook-laden testament to Three Percent's songwriting skills, with it's defined verse/chorus/verse structure, sharp edged guitars, and affecting lyrics that reveal Bassist, Todd Rourke's deep romantic streak: 'I work hard everyday/ Just so I can play/Leave me alone and I'll just keep singing the song everyday in my own fantasy.' On the other hand, 'I Wonder If We're Still Alive' opens things up for a full seven minutes that focuses less on individual showboating solos then on locking into a shifting danceable groove. And 'Caterpillar,' the disc's closing number, breaks all the rules by playfully marrying a countrified bluegrassy feel to a trancey refrain that gives guitarist Dan Dronseiko a chance to display his Robert Fripp-like talent for generating unique textures with his instrument. Inflation may be the culmination of something special that started in a practice space in Chelmsford back in '97, but it's certainly not the end of the road for Three Percent. If anything, it's just another step along the way to moving the mass audiences that this music is clearly capable of reaching out to. And it's further proof that when the right group of players find one another and continue to challenge each other along the way, there's no way to put a limit on what they're capable of achieving.- Shop: odax

Creature
New and original things are always tough to describe. The urge to classify is comforting, perhaps necessary. Is it chamber-jazz? Or some kind of indie alternative rock? What about new wave improvisation? Frankly, I can't tell you. First and foremost, there is Ila Cantor's guitar. Cantor is a deep guitarist, her pick and strum and pluck equally resonant with classical Spain and hardcore rock, gypsy jazz and the cool touch of masters like Jim Hall. Creature is a strikingly pure guitar album: pure, but definitely not purist. There are effects, electronics. How could there not be, so many decades after Charlie Christian and Jimmy Hendrix and Robert Fripp? True to her moment in the history of the instrument, Cantor makes her guitar speak with a vocabulary replete and plangent, echo and call and foray into the unknown. No less definitive are Cantor's compositions: deliberate, almost stately in their postulation of theme, classical in their restraint - until they turn in sinuous development and break out in meticulous rhythmic discord, progressing not only harmonically but sonically, always coherent and shaped by a craft both measured and luxuriant. Like her guitar Cantor's writing embraces rather than fuses diverse musical forms. It is an unhyphenated music all her own. And then there is Cantor's trio, with Matt Brewer on upright bass and Tommy Crane on drums. The responsiveness - the back and forth of swelling and receding sound and percussive counter-rhythm, the absolutely assured foundation across which Cantor weaves her beguiling motifs and riffs and lines - is thrilling. This is a tight risk-taking trio, an organism that adapts impressively with every sonic bud and bloom. Why Creature? But else what do you call an animal, a living breathing vital thing that as yet has no name? This is indeed living vital emergent music. Before we try to name it, listen.- Shop: odax

Oriented
Fernando Martínez del Campo shares his ability in blending different styles of music in his new production 'ORIENTED'. This album moves smoothly back and forth from Rock Fusion to World Music ranging from Satriani to Pink Floyd. Accurate bits of Oriental instruments, powerful guitar leads, suggestive loops, exciting samplers and an expert final mix are the elements of what is being called: A delicious salad with the right dressing! Fernando Martínez del Campo has been in the music arena for over 20 years. Founder of four recording studios, he is a producer, arranger and composer who has served in the advertising industry as well as in the launching of independent Mexican Rock bands. Lead guitar player of several bands FMdC toured around Mexico and U.S. forums. After an intense activity with 'Sergio Arau y los Mismísimos Angeles', FMdC embarked upon a solo effort through the doors of New Age with a conceptual album 'Grutas' inspired in the impressive caverns of Cacahuamilpa located in Guerrero, Mexico. Admirer of many kinds of music, FMdC has been inspired by such music greats as Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel and countless others. Allowing his guitar to speak the words of this spirit, the single 'Don't Push Me' tells a tale of his love for good music and shows his ability to melt different styles such as the Old School of Hip Hop and New Age World Music. Living in Mexico, Fernando Martínez del Campo, a loving husband and proud father of two sons, is about to release his latest album 'ORIENTED' sharing his musical moment with his world.- Shop: odax

Bartok's Room
Take yer fav ball o' silly putty and roll it over a sound/style image of chops a la Allan Holdsworth, Scott Henderson, Alex MacHacek, Joe Satriani, and snippets of Robert "the math-rock, monsieur Roboto" Fripp and squash out a nice distorto reprinted mosaic riffage picture of Michelena's multi- instrumentalist expertise and voicings . . . and you have this release in a nutshell or putty print. Seriously, a great deal super-duper, quicksilver riffs, frettage and wailings are going down here. There is a variety of hippy-trippy, Euro-cool-techno- futuristic, furious, frenetic, yet laid-back Floydian, "Comfortably Numb"-ish fusion prog guitar and programming inside. Did I mention groovin beats and a unique variety of song flows? Cool acoustic axe work is included too! Michelena has a new groove here of fresh chops galore but in a package like I haven't heard in awhile. There's even that Lost Tribe boogie-yer-bootay thang in places but overall this is avant-fusion, not freeform, but free-for-all fusion, whatever goes be slick. Attaching a post-rock, experimental, technical fusion moniker might work with a nod to Zappa and Vai's Flexable way of attacking and decimating the expected. Michelena is full of surprises and overflowing with technical prowess. Don't expect to relax too much nor for too long. This is an "upper" y'all. Recommended for the adventurous folks tired of fuzak. ~John W. Patterson, EER-MUSIC.com.- Shop: odax

The ReconstruKction of Light (CD/DVD-A)
Als sich Belew, Fripp, Gunn und Mastelotto nach dem Ende der ProjeKcts wieder als King Crimson formierten, hatte sich die Band zu einem Doppel-Duo verwandelt und das Album The ConstruKction of Light aufgenommen. Für ein Album, welches das Thema Konstruktion im Titel trägt, ist es wahrscheinlich angemessen, dass es die radikalsten Änderungen erfuhr und von Grund auf neu aufgebaut wurde.
