Percy Jones is a great bass player, worthy of the greatest, who played with with Brian Eno , Steve Hackett and other Suzanne Vega . He was also the bassist for Brand X and specialist fretless instruments. In 1989, Percy Jones released "Cape Catastrophe" Gonzo Multimedia reissued in 2013. Only he composes and plays all the instruments to bring forth this cake, a kind of UFO that may have trouble finding an audience given the complexity and ongoing experiments. Indeed, merely listening to the title track, very jazz improvisation soaring peaks and electronic fuse in all directions. It is very difficult to find recurring themes as the imaginary character torture neuronal vicissitudes of the listener even more motivated if the mastery of the instrument is evident. This will require a lot of courage to go after "Cape catastrophe "without letting go. If the complexity of the compositions commands respect it is clear that only the most experienced can support these combos and remain speechless at the shelf. For others - and they must be the majority of our readers - the purchase of this disc never be anything but an obvious mistake. A hard book to fans of this great man.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
