WALTER, WEASEL / KEVIN DRUMM / FRED LONBERG-HOLM - ERUPTION (CD)

"Eruption pushes the process of reflection ­ reflections upon improvised music, the contemporary character of Free Jazz, the energy of Speed Metal, and of course the reflections upon Takayanagi ­ even further towards independence. One hour of music, 40 tracks (the liner notes, an attack upon a saturated and self-righteous Free Jazz scene, are in code in the track titles). Excessive concentration, the most concentrated excesses. Walter Weasel (still: drums, power-electronics, mix, cover art) is at the height of his abilities. He is brilliantly supported/supplemented/spurred on once again by Fred Lonberg-Holm, the most versatile cellist of the improvisation scene, and Kevin Drumm, one of the avant-garde heroes of the last seven, eight years, who here is able to express his Death Metal obsessions."
