New studio recording from the monster group! Hansford Rowe - bass (ex-Gong) Bon Lozaga - guitar (ex-Gong) Benoît Moerlen - vibes, marimba (ex-Gong) Phil Kester - percussion Gary Husband - drums (Allan Holdsworth, Level 42) With special guest David Fiuczynski - guitar (Screaming Headless Torsos) Gongzilla has been in the studio. But not just any studio. Dangerous Music in Manhattan's alphabet city is the only facility they considered. State of the art analog gear at its pinnacle was required and nothing else - no programming, no synths, no syncing, no sequencing and no sampling or digital editing. Press record and play. Americans Bon Lozaga and Hansford Rowe, Frenchman Benoît Moerlen and Englishman Gary Husband are Gongzilla's core. Brooklyn's Phil Kester adds his vast percussion array. Their history together can be traced back to the legendary jazz-rock group GONG and their work with Mike Oldfield and Allan Holdsworth. Gongzilla's first two CDs, "Suffer" and "Thrive", have become cult hits in the fusion world. They featured monster guitarists Allan Holdsworth and David Torn. "East Village Sessions" continues that tradition with frequent collaborator David 'Fuze' Fiuczynski whose magic fretless guitar playing can also be heard on Gongzilla's "Live!".

Or OUT fuzzbox, whichever makes the most sense. With assistance, of course. To wit: BONE - Uses Wrist Grab Nick Didkovsky/Hugh Hopper/John Roulat Cuneiform - USA (CD) Label Web Site: http://www.cuneiformrecords.com The Cuneiform label has become, since they released However's CALLING! in the mid 1980s (get that one if you find it in a USED bin somewhere), America's best-known answer to ReR Recommended, Chris Cutler's label: a refuge for intelligent rock/avant/whatever/string cheese. The latter will play a part later on in this review. In a chat with Richard Wolfson of ReR some years back, I thanked him for keeping it up and not trying to go out there in the Industrial Midlands and attempt to find something trendier. His even-handed reply was, "We'll continue until they stop us". Joyce and Steve of Cuneiform would say the same, I'm sure. Now via Cuneiform comes a virtual power trio (largely because this was a case of multi-MP3/MP4 file swapping), since the members of which have never occupied the same room together. If so, I have yet to find the seams, and I did look. Bone is a stellar exercise in just how far one can push the guitar/bass/drums ethic, and there is to be found here Fred Frith Guitar Quartet skronk, seductive atmospherics, heavy riffing (albeit in strange time signatures), fuzz basses run amok, even an intelligent drum solo. But percussionist John Roulat hails from a fine American trio called Forever Einstein (http://www.forevereinstein.com) and if he can keep up with them, acting as foil for Hopper and Didkovsky should not break too much of a sweat. Not too much. Hopper we all know quite well, and I would not presume to write an introduction for him as a result, while Nick Didkovsky, founder of a crack musical Special Forces unit known as Doctor Nerve, is a guitarist of frenetic technique and viciously mischievous humor. He's also a member of the FFGQ, possibly one of those about whom the semidivine Frith has been heard to sigh, "I tour with these people for months at a time...". Full disclosure department: Nick D. and myself became friends back in '96 after I interviewed him. He was also kind enough to appropriate a song title for this CD from some stream-of-consciousness Email I sent him ages ago. I beg forgiveness of one and all. The end result of these three gentlemen Emailing nameless outrages back and forth for several months at a clip is a CD somewhere between the trio cut on Frank Zappa's 1974 solo project APOSTROPHE (the title jam featuring Frankie, Jack Bruce and Jim Gordon) and King Crimson's RED with Eno at the knobs instead of the semidivine Fripp. No pun intended. The chill-out coda, Hopper's "Little End Or Beginning," has some of that edge-of-sense Uncle Brian ambience: there's a whispering of crinkled paper (John R. making out checks to the phone company and power company, putting them in envelopes...?) under repeated multi-tracked Didkovskys essaying gentle flourishes and arpeggios and your classic Hopper slow buzzsaw theme. And now the CD rejects and we get to hear Ditty One. Hit that Play button! "To Laugh Uncleanly At the Nurse" (also in the FFGQ fake book) sounds like it was going to be a flamenco until Arnold Schoenberg got hold of it. Didkovsky's use of fuzz here owes some small debt to Fripp but one thing I've noticed about these two guitarists is that they both have equal command of studio wizardry but Fripp will stick rather closely to what can be duplicated in a live situation with a minimum of cloning. Nick D. sees no ethical problem putting four of himself on the same tune; to his credit, as on the crunching "Foster Wives, Trophy Hair" (don't ask. Please), he refuses to drown out his compatriots; Hopper disconnects the bass afterburner for this one and I can still hear him roaring like a primitive saurian, landing in all the right places between Roulat's precise 5/8 time downbeats. Hopper favors us hereupon with the Toho Monster lurch "Big Bombay" (analogous with his treatment of "Miniluv" on HOPPER TUNITY BOX many generations ago; basically an immense chord change mowing down all in its path), at the end of which a drone passes through The Riff and disappears going the other way, taking the track with it (nice Roulat working out on the cymbals a la Al Foster); and the tasty "Jungle Rev," a distant view of tonal and atonal snakes in a sort of tonic aspic. Drifting Didkovsky arcs and swoops, Roulat disassembling a washing machine and making a cyclotron out of the spare parts in the far foreground, and a patented Hugh speeded-up bass theme. Ethereal. Ah, but we haven't even touched on the rumbling "Overlife Parts 1 and 3" (hopefully they're saving Part 2 for the next release), the "carousel-missing-most-of-its-horses"-like "Green Dansette", or for that matter "Chaos, No Pasties" which might be the STARLESS-era Crimso covering a Claude Vivier mazurka. And more. Hit that Play button again! Cleverly, Didkovsky mixed this CD's tunes to have a minimum of silence between them so you would have to check the cover to see where you are. Only increases the pleasant sense of being overwhelmed. Assault with a friendly weapon, it might be called. The madness herein is very catching. Avail yourself of it soon. Oh, yes, string cheese is good for you in moderation, but BONE you can have as much of as you like. HUGH HOPPER Jazzloops - Burning Shed, UK (CD)HUGH HOPPER/ MIC GIDON Flight And Shade - Burning Shed, UK (CD) Label Web Site: http://www.burningshed.com Thanks kindly to London's Burning Shed Records for giving us two new peeks into Hugh H.'s many-faceted creativity. Mic Gidon is a French guitarist and vocalist who dabbles in the many methods of sampling, and his voice occasionally recalls Charles Aznavour, of all people. But that Europeans have a better sense of history than Americans is well documented! Gidon actually pushes Hopper in a pop direction, albeit a very odd one; short, punchy tracks with buzzing high-speed bass patterning, R&B guitar whang, cabaret slouch ("On the Watch"), even a bit of snicker now and again ("East West", with some nice piano by Frances Knight, features Gidon occasionally singing through his nose). But everywhere can be heard Hopper's delightfully if purposefully meandering melodies, which will (as could be heard on Hopper's two collaborations with poet/ singer Lisa Klossner) keep this CD nice and far away from any Hit Parade we would prefer not to frequent. But then, Robert Wyatt's last CD was reviewed favorably in PEOPLE Magazine, so who knows what's pop and what's not any longer? Hoary old Canterbury trainspotters like myself will shed a quiet tear at "For Alan", a reflective midtempo instrumental with a slow-reaction melody like those at which we all recall the late A. Gowen excelling. If Phil Miller helped compose this one, I wouldn't be surprised. So, a very fine go overall, no dearth of pleasant surprises. JAZZLOOPS may grow out of the avenue of Mr. Hopper's impetus that produced 1984: apparently assembled from existing sources, this CD is a series of eleven different flavored stews of varying source material. One can hear the definite contributions of Elton Dean, Didier Malherbe, Frank van der Kooij, Patrice Meyer, Simon Picard, and Nigel Morris (the credits admit to further assistance from Robert Wyatt, Pierre-Olivier Govin, Steve Franklin, Kim Weemhoff and Christine Janet), and the method used is to blend varying sections of longer jams and unfinished pieces into more focused compositions. Hopper is certainly a master at this, given past efforts like his collaborations with Kramer (especially HUGE), and you can't fault either his always-fresh bass runs or his choice of saxophonists. "1212" is an arid R&B workout with steady drumming, a detailed funk riff and tasty van der Kooij alto, for example, and the first-up"t3" sports a more experimental cast, snaking near-Arabic guitar lines about a detailed lattice of cymbals and liquid-lead bass. But several of these tracks seem to demand a context they can't supply themselves. Jungle drums and drones lift up "sfrankl" but there is no real lead voice. "calmozart"'s drum patterns are interesting and the horn lines are pretzelly in a "Chloe And The Pirates" kind of way but again it's as if the musicians are waiting for something to happen that never really does. "digwot" has no such problems, though, what with Malherbe's snake-charming tenor undulating above shifting tectonic-plate like sheets of sustained tone, and the closing "Nigepo" has a very ambiguous but still driving beat, echoed Wyatts enveloping a rhythm track reminiscent of Miles Davis' "Red China Blues." And no, part-way through the recessional, your CD player is not malfunctioning. Crafty Hugh! This is probably a case of the artist catching the critic off guard (easier than it sounds); one doesn't expect ambient music of Hopper but that was probably the point. Let's not forget "Oyster Perpetual" or "1983", after all. Merci encore, K.E. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jonny Greene <jonny@planetgong.co.uk> Subject: GAS NEWS 05/03 (pp) Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 21:51:00 +0100 GONG FAMILY FOOLE (ECLIPSE) MOON NEWS - MAY '03 A beaming big fat full moon to you, and you, and of course you.

POET FOR SALE BOOKhttp://www.planetgong.co.uk/octave/misc/book_poetforsale.shtmlDaevid is definitely a most happy old alien poet with the arrival of copies of his first book of poetry to be published since 1962. And I must say I'm rather pleased myself. It's been quite a struggle but the final result is deeply rewarding. All of you who subscribed to Poet For Sale, and made it possible, should by now have your signed and dedicated copies (if it hasn't arrived yet I'm sure it will do in the next few days). A thousand blessings on you all for supporting a branch of the arts most resistant to the rampant viral capitalism which infects the others (i.e. 'they' can't work out how to make big bucks out of it). Have I ever explained to you my theory of the on-going esoteric battle between business and artistic creation? No? Oh well we must have a drink and a smoke sometime. Meanwhile back in what is most amusingly called the 'real' world... GONG VIRGIN/EMI REISSUESThe planed May release of re-mastered, bonus tracked reissues of Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg, You and Live Etc have now been re-scheduled for October. Don't ask why, it's way too complicated to explain. However this delay means there is now some serious talk of Live Etc being expanded even further from the planned double CD to a 4 CD box-set! STEVE HILLAGE REISSUESA completed overhaul of Steve's back catalogue is also planned for later this year, complete with previously unheard bonus tracks.Re-mastering/bonus track work on the Space Shanty album he recorded with Khan in about 1805 has also recently been completed, but no release date has yet been set. KEVIN AYERS REISSUESReleased on 19th May are Shooting At The Moon, Toy of a Joy, Bananamour and Whatevershebringswesing in newly remastered, bonus be-tracked splendor. HISTORY OF PSYCHEDELIABoth Daevid and Steve Hillage feature prominently in the second part of BBC Radio 2's History of Psychedelia. You can listen to the programme for the next couple of days at:-http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/documentaries/psych.shtml PSST! WANT ANY TICKETShttp://www.vintagetickets.co.uk has some complete old '70's Gong and Steve Hillage tickets for sale.
