5 stars Controled chaos?

"If Hermeto throw a chair into the ground, it will be music. Its frightening". That was said, I forgotten by whom, sorry, about this wizard. I tend to agree. And more: its perhaps here that this caracteristic of Hermeto Pascoal can be more apreciated.

His free style of Jazz was already appearent in his first albums (even in his participations of Airto Moreira solo albums), where a full blow flutist, a crazy wacky pianist and a dont-know-how-to-call-vocalist could be heard. What is most impressive about Slave Mass is the pushing of boundaries of all this strange features of this strange musician in one time only.

The music is gentle and beautiful when it comes to established a more and more strange noise exploration. From pigs groining, women laughing and little demons talking in your head to gentle and classical sounds - this mixture could easily make unprepared people to hate such an album. Its not easy listening or beautiful jazz - its HERMETO PASCOAL.

A controled chaos, for the masses of slaves - such different elements from such a different artist could only bring such a different masterpiece.
