Title: thirsty ear returns
Review: much of the music i have heard from thirsty ear in the past couple years has been decent, but without knowing why i just lost interest in what the label was putting out. Too much of it really sounded the same with the exception of dj spooky's albums and Matthew shipp's "harmony and the abyss" So when i picked up this disc i was prepared for the worst but what i got was easily the best music i'v heard from thirsty ear so far! It's full of atmosphere with moments of weirdness and beauty. Medeski sticks with the keyboards, allowing shipp to handle the acoustic keys. This is really what helps the album to be so enjoyable, neither of these guys take it over. Parkers bass is thumping and dancing all over this cd. Then you have scotty hard's production and mixes that will make any dub or hip hop fan happy. Very nice!
