THRAK

I write this review just to add some words that might address better attention to listeners that currently have the album. I considered most welcome the double trio. All this talent could put together good material on a challenging short time. Remember that Vrooom and B Boom which preceded this work conteined its heart and were developed after a short reharsal period of time and some live performances.

The most significant piece to my point of seeing is the title track, which might be misleading as well. It took me time to figure out what was going on in between that caleidoscope of sounds. Thrak is a coral work indeed, with a defined geometry.

I invite you to find out the song Thrak from the League of Crafty Guitarists Live ii. The work done in both songs I might risk to define a structured division of attention, while some parts are playing chord with two accents and others are playing different chord with three accent. This leads into a rithmic moviment which slightly moves apart and comes back in, into a perfect unisone Just for one moment, then it goes away again. Listen to it and get the feeling of moviment, than the feeling of the scale ( a diminished scale), then the sound motiv done through a distorted guitar which is effected by a low octave, which produce a deep bass moviment.

The middle part of the Thrak song is kept free, but short and promising of future live improvisations. Therefore full enjoyable. Sounds are well distribuites, less claustrophobics than the Vrooom version. Therefore this could be a beginning point to some less easy listening, but well concepted real Crim song.

Other reviewers have drive their attention onto the other songs of the album, so I complete here my modest intervention, really hoping that this could increase the understending of the "behind the lines" of this excellent album.

I could open hearted reccomend this to anyone who wish to get close to the 90's Crim ensamble.
