Title: Nothing Like Their First Album, Anyway
Product review: A clockwork nightingale to the trio's own incomparable "Nothing Ever Was, Anyway." The balance of harmonic sophistication and plain lyricism was a naturally emergent element in the earlier outing. I didn't need to read the liner notes' admission of programmatic lack of focus, either; it's just plain inattentive on some tracks and one or two technical blunders spoil a lot of it.These artists are capable of *so* much better; I wish ECM could have afforded another session or two for this album. Here's a deal for you Mr. Eicher: I'll buy another copy of "Nothing...", and you turn down the reverb one notch the next time these cats get together.
