Left
& Right Left & Right is a series of duets constructed by a trading of tapes between Diaz-Infante and Forsyth, the latter laying down complementary tracks on top of the former's improvisations. The music on Left & Right falls into the same genre as that played by Caspar Brotzmann or Thurston Moore. In other words, a continuation of the tradition spanning Hendrix and Sharrock, a tradition of "blizzards of noise," textural walls of sound which are far removed from other guitar traditions. Left & Right is for all those who enjoy inventive sonic experimentation by guitarists; textural to the point of sounding almost electronic at times, it's a very fine piece of work... unconditionally recommended. Total playing time 38:24 minutes. :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: All Time Present (Chris Forsyth) March (Diaz-Infante and Forsyth) Soul Motive (World of Tomorrow) Humdinger (Davey Williams and John Corbett) Wires and Wooden Boxes (Diaz-Infante and Forsyth) Hurricane Floyd (Thurston Moore, Wally Shoup, Toshi Makihara) The Second Sky (Russell and Turner) |
