organissimo hat das Album erst entdeckt, als der thread hier schon durch war – aber erwartungsgemäß waren die Senioren dort älter, weiser, und bissiger als wir… (und in Sachen „Puristen werden es nicht mögen“ mE: Der Gegenwind für Matana Roberts war sehr viel sanfter. Wirklich negativ ist hier wie dort fast keiner, gibt nur Leute, die sagen, sie hören lieber was anderes. Und niemand sagt, dass auf dem Album irgendwas gemacht wird, was man nicht darf – im Gegenteil. Und was mich freut: Mary Halvorson hat sich zum Maßstab für gut und richtig entwickelt.)
„This is like latter-day Incognito with somewhat better soloists. I really don’t see why the fuss, for or against, and I really don’t mind later-day Incognito, especially as sunny day road music with people in the car who don’t understand stressing out on music, like fuck that neurotic shit, we got all the stress you and me can both handle in our regular lives, why do we need to look for more of it already? And this will fit that bill just fine, thank you.
I mean, plenty of people have their existential crises outside the arena of music. I’m like, hey, better they still have good players playing well than bad players playing bullshit, or, especially, good players playing bullshit, because if THAT’S all it takes to make you happy, your existential crisis sounds more like a case of whinyassbitch than it sounds like a real life problem. But if you really DO have all that other shit going on, and just want some kind of a musical chillout, placebo or otherwise, and you like it polished and relatable at YOUR level of non-insultation, good for ya‘ at that, and to the people who provide that musical service, good for them too, it’s an honest living.
Latter-day Incognito is like 70s for my children, this is like 70s for my grandkids. I guess everybody gonna need them some 70s at some point…“
