| After a break of six
years, Chris Cutler, Bob Drake and Lukas Simonis, now with added
ingredient Pierre Omer, present the second volume of recordings by the
elusive VRIL - a band who revive and update both the great institution
of the guitar instrumental and the now sadly neglected practice of
collective arrangement, intense rehearsal and live studio performance.
Appropriate to the half century that has passed since the birth of the
form, these hits dodge about, get bored easily and blend both
concentration and complexity with the still indispensable traditional
qualities that made the genre great: hummability, crafted sounds, nifty
arrangements, ridiculous gimmicks and ensemble playing. 'Neither
tribute nor parody, these enigmatic pieces are never more nor less than
exactly what they are'.... wrote Lothar Preen in his Melbourne concert
review....'but perfectly realised'. With film stills, misleading
sleeve-notes and storyboard by the Diogenesian recluse Frank Key. |
