Djam Karet I
know it's not cool to the rock world to know what you're
doing, but there's a reason bands like Yes, Gong and Rush
have done so well - musicians like Gayle Ellet (guitars,
keys), Mike Henderson (guitars), Chuck Oken, Jr. (drums),
and Henry J. Osborne (bass) were listening.
"The Sky Opens Twice" is a
study in contrasts. One being a King Crimson-esque 6/8 feel
with a Tony Levin-spidery bass line from Osborne. But after
a brief fade, a slower 7 pattern hovers like a Pink Floyd
lunar landing.
Celestial atmospheres
smoothly shift to Deadhead-length jams, bristling with dense
textures without over-intellectualizing large odd numbers.
Pretty interesting stuff, and I'm sure Rolling Stone
Magazine ignored it - so you know there's actual skill
involved.
