Don't be deceived by the name – this is really a scorched-earth
metal-electronica improvising guitar band that threatens to blow you out of
your window. This suitably other-worldly double-CD package (the cover images,
fittingly, are all of the Hadron Collider) contains a crafted studio album and
a flat-out live show – what producer David Breskin calls "a raw black-and-white
movie" compared to the "hyper-sensuous technicolour" of the studio
half. Guitarist Cline contributed to the work of jazz artists like Tim Berne
and Julius Hemphill, but has worked in an abstract-rock manner more prominently
with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and others. In the studio set, smacking funk
grooves crank up out of ambient atmospherics to elicit the sound of a late
Miles Davis road-band; or bleeping robot-speak electronics turn into a clanging
guitar anthem. The live half is ruthlessly leaner, sometimes mingling explosive
electronics and wounded-elephant roars into free-improv duets with bassist
Devin Hoff. Blues Too is an unexpectedly gorgeous chord-voicing exploration
over brushes and occasional bowed bass dedicated to guitar master Jim Hall. In
the 15-minute Boogie Woogie Waltz's blazing sound palette, there's even a
melodic motif mimicking a Chinese erhu violin. It's pretty fierce, but a
contemporary guitar buff's dreamworld.
