Guignol's Band by bucketrider
2nd Studio album of the 90s wunderkind avant-punk-jazz maestros. An influential release featuring a wide range of compositions written by Tim O'Dwyer. The band is sounding really tight and focused on this record.
"we were all blown away! From the tight, frenzied horns exploding at the opening of 'Nexus', - you know you are in for something special. All three horns blast together with this monstrous thick & pounding rhythm team, amazingly tight and well-written horn parts. Actually this reminds me of some of the finer British avant/jazz releases of the 70's'sort of Soft Machine-'Vol. Four' 'without the keyboards. A phenomenal work throughout!"
