Syd Barrett Barrett

The musical and human journey after Pink for Barrett has indeed been sad, to say the least. However, there’s no doubt that his innovative impact must be recognized, especially for what it contributed to the transformation of rock at the end of the 60s and how it positively influenced hordes of musicians in the 70s. Nevertheless, I consider this work, as well as "The Madcap Laughs," the product of a deeply disturbed and unbalanced mind. And to quote the author of the beautifully written note, "in the awareness of surrendering without pain to the nostalgia and regret of someone who doesn’t have much left to say"; well, at most I might not know if it's with or without pain and awareness.

Ketil Bjørnstad and Terje Rypdal Life In Leipzig

Even more bizarre and unusual would be the pairing of cello and electric guitar ("Laser" on "Eos" - ECM) that Rypdal and David Darling released a long time ago. It’s always very relative, I believe. I mean, Rainer Bruninghaus - just to give a trivial example - managed to enchant with the trumpet of Markus Stockhausen alongside sequencers. It’s only a matter of "chemistry" and intuition, perhaps. In any case, big congratulations Jake for the review. I don’t know Leipzig or its content, but the names are a guarantee. Just like your signature.

I quote XYZ; I just want to add that every time I listen to it again, it's an esoteric and introspective experience. Masterpiece.

Terje Rypdal Odyssey

I would like to add my compliments for the record that momentarily resurrects the remarkable music of the great Rypdal. "Odyssey," among his works, may not be the clearest and simplest, but it has those characteristically dreamlike and twilight/mysterious atmospheres that make it extremely fascinating and sometimes dark. Over the years, I have become convinced that perhaps his best works emerged later with the Chasers - Bjorn Kjellemyr and Audun Kleive - ("If Mountains Could Sing" above all), but his early works on ECM should still be a must to understand the evolution of a certain European guitar language. (And in my opinion, the first David Torn and Eivind Aarset owe him.) His debut album is simply extraordinary, and his second, "What Comes After," is no less.

A beautiful and heartfelt piece that also sheds light on the human story of this unique and splendid musician.

Trout-idiot (under the fake of patmetheny): But where has all your polish and your sick imagination gone? Is this it? I think you're deflated again, Deflated Balloon. Compensate by shoving your head in a toilet. At least that way you'll wash up. And at least have the guts to sign your stupid nickname.

I would say that Aeneas has expressed a minimal yet balanced judgment, which I support. But it's not new that the meager devil knows how to take the bull by the horns. And thanks for the old man :)

@Pi-Airot: If "Future Days" has thrilled you, I would like to warmly invite you to listen to the subsequent "Soon Over Babaluma," which in my humble opinion is the peak of the group's expression during that period. "Chain Reaction" and "Quantum Physics" are two unforgettable pieces, especially rhythmically.
