Joseph Reviewed 2013-07-08 | ||
Mike Gamble “Loomer” Label: Engine Recordings Joseph Reviewed 7/8/13 Moody, mysterious instrumental music created all at once with no overdubbing. Impressive. No FCC violations detected. *= favorite cuts 1 – (1:17) Loomer Slow guitar and drum sonics 2 – (2:32) Gilgamesh Distortion, more melodic, odd mixture of sounds 3 – (3:26) Impend* Opening gong, brilliant guitar notes, percussion, more energetic sonic exploration 4 – (2:33) Optimalist. Bizarre mix of sounds, melodies in early part of song 5 – (10:56) Lovefist* Tender & blissful, sounds a bit like Bill Frisell. Drums at 3:30, Builds to a full ensemble sound 6 – (3:48) Starstrider Another aural meditation. So so 7 – (3:40) I’m On Your Side* Repeating guitar arpeggios, with overlapping electric guitar solo. Then sound expands nicely 8 – (10:50) The Age of Analog Pretty solo guitar but kind of repetitive. Finally starts to go somewhere around minute 8:00 9 – (4:06) Saturns Return* Nice melody, nice rhythmic pulse 10 – (4:05) Lookahead* Rambling solo guitar. Very Frisell-like. Quiet & moody 11 – (1:18) Inevitable Tasks At Hand More rock style guitar playing 12 – (4:05) Recollectus Softer tones, meditative tone poem 13 – (3:52) Cauda Pretty, ambling tune |
