Gary Windo / Dogface
| |||
So this is a 'dog face', the Gary Windo on the cover trying to
represent? Well, maybe it is to act aggressively? I think it is more of a
little amusing. Or does he want the same bite? All this might be
evidence of the expected music ...
To dogs, the subjects also seem to turn, you just look up the tracklist. So I am curious what here between puppies and Lassie romps. The information for each song indicate that different bands act.So I have these also reported accordingly. For this there are in the booklet still a 'historical note':'Except for NRBQ , all bands in this recordings were variations of Pam Windo & The Shades ".
Along with Hal Willner produced Gary Windo this
album in 1982 in the Grog Kill Studios, Willow / New York, except for a
well-rehearsed in the Bearsville Studios piece. Probably the Saxer has
viewed his album as a concept album, because a glance at the track list
makes this presumption. With the kisses of a puppy, the plate begins
with a title that looks like a jam session. Jazz Rock, which is four and
a half minutes just hidden - pity you could here can run even more. In
any case, all the tracks are quite short, and thus should have a more
typical song character. For this purpose it to me but a lack of
recognizable themes, which addressed the first song jam character is
retained. Only very scribed melodies such as in "Guard Duty" are quite
superficial and along with NRBQ a rather oblique rhythm'n'blues piece is commanded, which can score by short solos.
Windos solos
are always fraught quite expressive and with a slight hint of the style
of play of free jazz. Since the music is not otherwise exempted, thus a
contrast between the friction and the particular charm of this music is
created, produced when then erupted again from the usual scheme.Very
interesting and subtly avant-garde, for example, "Rex And Spot Meet The
International Bitches", and the panting of a dog (the scraps of language
- in German language - it can be seen that there probably is a German
Shepherd dog talk) immersed in the with six minutes on the longest song.
So we see from a wild, tangled mix ' zappa -esque
'moments from Brassrock with saxophone eruptions, a little Canterbury
sound here, rhythm and blues and rock. A cover song there is, "Do not Be
Cruel" - this is now to be seen close to the original or a
parody? Anyway, this instrumental version goes well and loose, rocking
merrily on the season. But contemplative it comes to when it comes to
the dog (?) "Baxter" is. Many jazz elements were woven here.
was only really wild, it will then end, when Lassie breaks. Here goes beyond the music all borders and could move the one or the other listeners of the same. It was only about two minutes from the actors agree on a topic that is quite formidable after Soft Machine sounds - great, I love this outbreak!
