The true sui generis Annette Peacock's 1983 work. That said, it's a release reconstructing unreleased tracks from 1974 to 1983, featuring a selection of edgy pieces ranging from free jazz, avant-garde, electronic music, to spoken-word performances. Particularly outstanding are “1/2 Broken” which drifts with strange emotional atmosphere as percussion, electronic sounds, and sound effects interject, “No Winning, No Losing” which feels like a home-recorded improvisational session with guitarist David Terry and “Both” tense session with the brilliant percussionist Roger Turner. We would rate this album as one of her best.
真のスイ・ジェネリスAnnette Peacockの83年作。と言っても74年~83年の未発表曲を再構築しリリースしたものでフリー・ジャズ、アヴァンギャルド、電子音楽、語り弾きまで選りすぐりの際どい楽曲の数々を収録しています。打楽器、電子音、SEが差し込みながら不思議な情緒感を漂わす”1/2 Broken”、David Terryなるギタリストとの宅録即興セッションのような”No Winning, No Losing”、奇才パーカッショ二ストRoger Turnerとの緊張感のある交配”Both”は特に秀逸。彼女の作品でも指折りに挙げたい一枚。是非ゆっくり聞いてみてください。
