Transcript

April 11,1996 Western Carolinian Features THE STARS OFLMP^ On Thursday, March 28, LMP showcased the talents of some of WCU's student body at their open mic night. Brown Cafeteria hosted the event during its nightly deli service. First place was awarded to open mic favorite Fran Kennedy, and second place went to the newcomer punk band Flybait. All photographs by Sean Corcoran Phish Leader Blows Minds With Jazz Album by Kevin Cassels Staff Reporter Trey Anastasio, frontman for the popular concert act Phish, has released his first solo album on Elektra Records, entitled Surrender to the Air. The album contains a Who's Who of past and present jazz greats performing an incredible piece of improvisa- tional jazz. Along with Anastasio, the group includes Marshall Allen, longtime saxophonist for the late jazz visionary Siin-Ra; John Medeski of the talented trio Medeski, Martin, and Wood; Phish drummer Fish, the Aquarium Rescue Unit's Oteil and Kofi Burbridge; the great Damon R. Choice; and a host of others. The album offers up wild and untamed excursions into jazz outer space, showcasing relentless technical proficiency and free-flowing noodling with no musical boundaries whatsoever. Anastasio produced and recorded the entire project himself, but the music itself was not written out beforehand. The group recorded several improvisational efforts until Anastasio picked what he felt was the best sixty minutes of music. The album is actually one continuous song, and though many younger Phish fans haven't quite grasped the concept of Surrender to the Air, a number of longtime jazz enthusiasts have praised the recording. With the exception of a brief drum solo by Bob Guilotti, no one musician takes the lead, not even Anastasio. In fact, Trey's guitar sounds nothing like a guitar at all, but more like a stringed synthesizer that builds and fades throughout the recording. The song has several sections of tension and release, in which a quiet, soothing progression bubbles into an exciting, loud, no-holds-barred climax. The album somewhat resembles the untamed madness of John Coltrane's Om, as well as the spacey experimentation of Sun-Ra. However, the album in no way resembles Phish, which is one reason many Phisheads were caught off guard by the recording. The group of musicians who recorded Surrender to the Air recently performed two nights at the Academy in New York City. A review of the show posted on the Internet stated that the concert cannot be accurately described with words. Neither can the album, which is why you should go out and get it yourself. Iggy Pop Needs to Quit Commentary by Jon Lauterer Staff Reporter The first thing that came to my mind while I was listening to Naughty Little Doggy, Iggy Pop's newest effort, was a question: "Why did he even bother?" Pop was a product of the late 70s drug culture, which produced others such as Lou Reed. Heroin seems to play a key role in Pop's music; it's almost like a fifth member in the band. Pop's band is not much to speak of, either. Their music is guitar-driven and repetitive. The bass player might as well hook an octave pedal up to the guitar output and take a breather. On top of their lack of talent, their pseudonyms - Eric Mesmerize, Hal Wonderful, Larry Contrary, and The Mighty Whitey- lead one to believe that they are simply trying too hard to be weird. I tried to like this album, but the ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ biggest obstacle was Iggy Pop's vocals. I think the mad cow disease has been spread to my man Iggy. His song-title choruses are annoyingly repetitive and droning. I don't thrive on writing negative reviews, so I'll leave you with this thought: Maybe he'll stop making albums if we stop buying them! f nau
