REVIEW: MAUDLIN OF THE WELL - LEAVING YOUR BODY MAP

 


MAUDLIN OF THE WELL - LEAVING YOUR BODY MAP (Dark Symphonies, 2001):


Technical data:

Recorded at Zing Recording Studios.

Engineered by Jim Fogarty

Mastered at Peerless Mastering by Jeff Lipton


Track List: 1- Stones of October´s Sobbing, 2- Gleam in Ranks, 3- Bizarre Flowers/A Violent Mist, 4- The Curve that to an angle Turn´d, 5- Sleep is a curse, 6- Riseth He, the Numberless, 7- Monstruously Low Tide


This is the other part of the Maudlin of The Well release. As "Bath" this opens with a climatic track full of sax and arpeggiated guitars in the beginning called "Stones of October´s Sobbing" before getting into a doom/death like part in 1:30...but the sax and keyboards part continue !!!!!. I love the experimentation of this guys and I love their heavy use of uncommon things that will do close-minded purists to smash their heads against the wall (there are some passages on this tracks that won´t be out of place in a free jazz context...those killer sax lines !!). It is no secret that I love the complex and the original and here we have both ...amazing !! Hail to Dark Symphonies for having such a great band with them !! Favorite tracks: Again the whole album from beginning to end. Contact: www.darksymphonies.com
