Hinds/Palmer/Stagner - A.S.A.P. Wings (2007)Solponticello/Shaking Ray Records

Aforesaid album is a live debut of the trio made up of Killick Erik Hinds (H'arpeggione), Dennis J. Palmer (synthesizers, drum samples, moogerfoogers) and Bob Stagner a.k.a. the Shaking Ray Levis (drums & found objects). The stuff was recorded on May 26th (2006) at Eyedrum, Atlanta, Georgia. Obviously, it wasn't his first meeting on stage, because they have also recorded and performed with John Zorn, David Greenberg, Derek Bailey and many others.

I have read that musicians describe their music as "a juggernaut, a whale of a hoot and post-post modern revivalism". What a terminological inventiveness! But what about music itself? Wow, when Ornette Coleman offered us his free jazz concept, he couldn't realize that there would be founded such unorthodox jazz combos like the Hinds/Palmer/Stagner trio for instance, haha. What should you expect from them? Undoubtedly, twisted tones out of synthesizers, sound quarrels, distortions, short circuits, sonic confusion, dissonant and temporarily cacophonous creatures here and there. It isn't an usual jazz improvisation, but rather an instrumental prank full of crazy, chaotic, trance and cranky music, haha. I can merely hear a little unidentified tonal objects, haha. Yeah, this stuff makes us think.

I am absolutely convinced that they aren't normal people who ordinarily buy rolls every morning and come back home after 8 a.m.-4 p.m. work, haha. They are rather extraterrestrials leading the virtuosic avantgarde in the 21st century! You can believe me or not, but abnormality is normality here, haha. Let's look at release's freaky cover to understand what I am writing about. What shall I do with this hazardous music? I admit that all of them are totally proficient at their instruments, but I must also admit that their music is both musically and politically incorrect, haha. Let me think over the stuff and decide on these incorrigible instrumentalists' lot. I got it! I have to contact the NASA crew and find out the Discoveries' departure times in order to send them to another dimension. They should jam with the Martians on their land and play gigs there. It is possible that terrestrials could put so many ideas into Martians' heads that they probably could go crazy, haha. The trio must be safe and sound, so better not risk their precious lives. Let them stay on Earth and mentally and instrumentally torture us with the little unidentified flying, uuups, playing objects, haha!
