review...
The idea at this session was to try some new formulas and ideas for
playing live, yet what we did was pretty much refocus a new wider array of
sounds into typical quintessential Endgame. Four big pieces, each with a
slightly different focus. Maybe this is our "Zeit" or imaginary
music for nature films. Marshlands sets the scene, and although not a lot
seems to happen in its 21 minutes, it's a constantly changing and growing
opus. Much more dynamics can be heard in Volcanic Flats with its opening big
but slow rise, bolstered by a swirly organ crescendo to a plateau of bubbling
electronic volcanic activity. Hereon early Cluster/Kluster comes to mind,
before we go into a grand cosmic bliss-out. Rainforest is an indescribable
melange of real and unreal sounds, collages and textures, ending aptly with a
thunderstorm! Eventually we head off towards outer space with Stratosphere, with
ethereal Mellotron textures weaving in and out of a Cluster like
slidy/slippery fabric.
Typical Endgame? Yes. But there
again - no. There's a lot here never heard in an Endgame album, proving that
well over a decade on Endgame can still come up with many a new idea. In fact
some that we never even though of until after we'd invented them! Such is the
wonder of free improvisation. Or were we all remote viewing?
