Bill Laswell and Tetsu Inoue

Cymatic Scan

Cymatic Scan is a set of deep ambient 
experiments from Bill Laswell and Tetsu 
Inoue, two masters of that style. This CD leans 
heavily towards the ambient and minimalist ends of that 
style. Bill and Tetsu add just enough experimentation to 
give the set extra style and panache.  ~ Jim

Bill Laswell: Operazone: The Redesign

Bill Laswell has done it all.  Alan Douglas came up with a
concept and Bill ran with it.  Operazone: The Redesign is his
reconstruction of some fairly well known opera pieces, sans vocals.

This CD is absolutely way too cool!  The music is largely orchestral with some
dynamic jazz influenced solos.  Bill laid a techno-electronic rhythm track
beneath the strings and winds to give the reconstruction a modern flair.

And it just that - a flair.  Bill's reconstruction preserves the intent and
beauty of the originals.  The modern flavor is snappy and jazzy.  This is loads
of fun and highly essential.

Bill Laswell: Emerald Aether: Shape Shifting

Bill Laswell is one of the most diverse electronicians of today.

Overall, he is one of the most diverse musicians of this - or any other - era.
He has performed with some of the greats of modern jazz  (as bassist and/or
producer); he has performed with some of the greats of modern electronic music;
his solo electronic CD's are legendary; he is a pioneer in ethnic ambience.
One of his most astonishing and eclectic achievements is Emerald Aether:
Shape Shifting.  This CD is a translation of traditional Celtic music in
today's digital domains.  Bill calls the process reconstruction.

Irish music owes a great deal to other ethnic influences.  It reflects those
ethnicities while remaining distinctly Irish.  Bill capitalized on those
influences in his reconstruction and added modern techno rhythms and electronic
atmospheres.  The result is a deep enigmatic set of ambience with a broad
appeal.  It is essential to all lovers of Celtica and eclectica.  For fans of
Bill's, it is beyond essential!
