TRANSMISSION IV

4.5 stars. This is an unedited 40 minute improv recorded June 28th 1994. We even get a couple of guests adding harmonica and percussion.There is a shorter version of this song on the "Sky Moves Sideways" double disc I own. In fact if your as big a fan as I am of that album you'll love this EP. This has that same spacey style that just takes me away.

"Moonloop" is very spacey to start and we get some birds chirping 1 1/2 minutes in. Percussion and guitar join in. The guitar is becoming more prominant around 7 minutes and it continues to get louder. Nice. Spoken word samples around 15 minutes as the spacey atmosphere continues. Drums and bass come more to the fore 21 minutes in then the harmonica follows. Organ after 25 minutes. Back to the percussion and birds before 30 minutes. It's building at 32 minutes until it's rocking out pretty good after 33 minutes. It settles after 35 minutes and drifts along until it's over.

It's very tempting to give this 5 stars it's so good.
