Richard Hickox - Mass #2 in D minor / Nelson Mass / Ave Regina - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Richard Hickox - Mass in D minor / Salve Regina [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/22/2005

New York quartet Sunwatchers drew a line in the sand with their last album InchIIInch, a powerful statement of the band's unique brand of spiritual, free-rock, gonzo attitude and a progressive socio-political worldview. InchIllegal MovesInch is their second album for Trouble In Mind. InchIllegal MovesInch is the band's most potent blend yet; a heady potion of free-jazz, psychedelia, punk & noise rock that is both tender and ferocious; the perfect soundtrack to smash capitalism and fix our broken system thru sonic catharsis and revolution. Songs like InchEverybody PlayInch and InchBeautiful CrystalsInch insinuate themselves into your brain with the rubbery synchronicity of bassist Peter Kerlin and drummer Jason Robira. Elsewhere InchNew Dad BluesInch and InchGreeneyed Pigmen (Get The Blade)Inch sting with a righteous fury beyond the piercing scree of guitarist Jim McHugh's electric phin or Jeff Tobias' saxophone skronks, and the band's cover of Alice Coltrane's InchPtah, the El DaoudInch transforms her meditative elegy into a fiery protest march. The songs crackle with an energy informed by passionate disgust of the status quo realized on the album cover's illustration of the Kool-Aid Man battling the personifications of evil from across the world. A psychedelicized avatar for the general wrath and action that they believe in.Inch
