"not having heard the dropp ensemble's debut album and seeing
that
they were from chicago and
featured Ken Vandermark, it was somewhat
odd to see they had a record - Ingen Tid - on a label
known for its heavy
avant garde cred. but hey, this septet, at least judged by the 2004 session
represented here, are an excellent group of sound generators. The two
pieces are
abstract
constructions seemingly dedicated to approximating
electronic tones by bending extended acoustic
ones out of whack.
The subtle dislocations they create with this technique are lovely."
