Imagine
a disk in which participating States epifanestata bands like Mothers Of
Invention, Magic Band to Captain Beefheart, Alice Cooper (when he was still a
band), Focus, Gong, Yes ... Well, now you can stop imagining because surely the
result has nothing to do with what happens in the "Electronic Church Muzik". The
Ant-Bee, aka Billy James, has long unsolicited take the project to gather some
of his favorite musicians from the '60s and '70s, in order to revive and
reactivate their music. In this, however, adds plenty of doses convictions of
avant-garde route. You, then, are two covers on the "Living" from the first disk
(or "the" if you prefer) Alice Cooper and "Don't You Ever Learn" the Todd
Rudgren to be among the most robust configurations disc and significantly
interesting in the way the soul and psychedelic elements respectively amplified
after care they receive. Can the "Eye Of Agamoto" the participant Don Preston
also function as a Mini reunion Mothers body and soul.Can Jan Akkerman in
"Mannah" to impress the guitar virtues that earned him vast amounts of nature
and like to do and Zoot Horn Rollo in "Mallard Flies Towards Heaven".
But all
belongs more in the Ant-Bee, who manages to tie all these elements into
something that has its own identity. And it is none other than a
space-electronic-psychedelic and sometimes oddly church (to justify the title
album) music. This result was greatly assisted by craftsmen kind Daevid Allen
and Gilli Smith.Where necessary, however, he takes the reins as the wonderful
"Flutter-Bye, Butter-Flye", after also doing everything on the disk, from song
to washboard and the loops until the mellotron. We end missing and other strange
sounds of chickens, donkeys and ... the Groucho Marx! Overall, the sound
escapes, of course, the mainstream and wants a degree of risk and ignorance
search of adventure music to be appreciated. On the other hand, flows smoothly,
is friendly enough for the listener (for data sets at least) and has moments
that can be isolated from the whole. I would not say to listen anyway, but I'd
certainly not ignore.
