Rewards multiple, year-after-year listenings!
I have many of the 1970s ECMs in original German vinyl pressing. It has taken awhile to find actual ECM CDs of these vinyl .... Still in search of the CD of ECM 1039 (Lookout Farm, Dave Liebman) and of ECM 1054 (Eon, Richie Beirach).
I'm not too familiar with Arve Henriksen but I am somewhat aware of that record and will give it a listen (he also has a brand new one out on ECM with Harmen Fraanje called Touch of Time). I also checked out your link to his other record (Sequential Stream) and, wow, the first few songs were amazing and I'm going to make a point of giving that one an undistracted deep listen. I'm really a fan of the whole electronics-enhanced chamber jazz thing, Jan Bang, Jon Hassell, David Torn, Eivind Aarset and others.Nice Bob: I love Weber's work, and have several albums of his, but I don't have that one yet!
New to me album. (I have another album with Henriksen; it's not an ECM release).
Another "beyond classification" ECM album (some descriptors I'd use would be ambient, minimal, experimental, electronica, dark, even at times ethereal) with many contributors; here you can see the list of instruments/musicians involved. David Sylvian makes an appearance; he performs spoken word material on two tracks.
I'm enjoying this enough that I'm going to check out some other albums from the main performers here (Henriksen, Bang, Aarset).
