OETZ/WAGNER/STUART
PERMANENT FLOW
ACCRETIONS RECORDS

Experimental, freestyle improvisation, and a clunking, haphazard stop-start of disarray that sounds like a load of rats scurrying and nibbling their way through an orchestra. On the shout of go, the trio unveil their bass-saxpercussion blueprint – a piercing yet burly, ungainly gaggle of chopped and splintered jazz gone wrong, conducted through spontaneity, across three extensive episodes and a brief concluder. Extremely post-modern and cosmopolitan, but by the same means, not very musical or melodic, sounding like a first school band audition muck-about scoring a very strange, low-budget animation; nearimpossible to review, and for a select audience only.
