Sur Big Sur, Donkey's second release, maintains their commitment to live improvisative music, featuring two tracks recorded at the 2001 Big Sur Experimental Music Festival. Moving into some rich new spaces on this recording, Donkey continue the development of their own unique sense of rhythm, tension, and momentum. Comes highly recommended. A new sonic horizon, and booga to the "oh electronic music! It's so Cold! so Unfeeling! Waaah! crowd, the excitement that the interchange of creativity and challenge these two are engaged in fairly leaps into your ear. -- Mike Zimbouski, Signal to Noise These guys demonstrate a sensitivity of expression that naturally is in intense demand among improvisers but not always present...Exciting! Turn the volume up! -- Ingvar Loco Nordin Donkey veers from the heady extremes of pure adrenaline noise to the more cerebral and chin stroking intellectual exercises that are improvisation at its most inventive. -- Cris Baldwin, Acid Attack Music :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: Red Sauce Baby (Hans Fjellestad) Show (Donkey) Outcome (Derek Bailey and Steve Lacy) Billabong (Denman Maroney and Hans Tammen) Tom and Gerry (Thomas Lehn and Gerry Hemingway) Schnee (Stangl and Kurzmann) Knack On (Voice Crack) Wires and Wooden Boxes (Ernesto Diaz-Infante and Chris Forsyth) |
