I just Google searched the image and didn't pay attention to the rest of the post.

Cats With Hats - Hallucinations

https://catswithhats.bandcamp.com/album/hallucinations

Key’s latest release combines modernity with post-modernity to create a unique musical spectacle. The percussive components that barely congeal enough to be considered beats (thus never becoming distracting or annoying) have an old school post-punk feel - like a disjointed Throbbing Gristle that’s been living underwater. Then the textures come in two forms. Early electronic pioneers of the sonic avant garde are recalled. However, those echoes from way back, the sixties or even before, don’t rely on the collage techniques of that era. Instead, like I said the sounds are used as sonic textures. The other form is more closely related to the drone movement of the 21st century. But in the same way he avoids the collage rabbit hole he also avoids the trappings of dark ambient. He borrows from all three of these traditions but ends up with something very much his own. Clearly experimental and avant garde while successfully elbowing into new space. This album hangs comfortably in the company of the 2019 top 20 of the year listed above. It’s brief, distinct, and intensely engaging. Key has become one of the great, and like many of my favorites, almost completely unknown, musical masterminds of this era. It’s ****ing humbling to be his Internet peer on this forum. He’s a great artist.

I was just listening to Pleasant Dreams and I realized the track 7-11 has been renamed Jul 11 presumably in honor of Tommy who died on that date. I didn’t find any mention of it online so I thought I would point it out here.

Cecil Taylor trio featuring Albert Ayler - Four by waternogetenemy https://soundcloud.com/waternogetenemy/four on #SoundCloud

I’ve been on an information hunt about Ayler’s life today because there’s so much contradictory information online. I found an interview with Ayler on youtube and this information is straight from his mouth.

Ayler was 22 when he joined the army. From Ayler’s description he had a great deal of freedom while in the army. He was stationed in France and practiced tenor sax several hours a day. The way he describes working on his scales reminds me a lot of what I know about Coltrane’s approach. While he was in the Army he actually developed a fan base in Sweden. After he was discharged he lived for a short while in Los Angeles then briefly returned to his hometown of Cleveland before deciding to return to Sweden and try to build on what he had established there. From there he was hired by a radio station in Denmark to record an album. That album is My Name Is Albert Ayler. While he was there he met and performed with Gary Peacock and Cecil Taylor. Ayler describes Peacock as the best bass player he ever met and Peacock told Ayler that one reason he went on long fasts was to attain the kind of purity that Ayler already had. Ayler states that one thing he didn’t like about Taylor was that he was “too hard”. I’ve written before on here about the brutality of Cecil Taylor as a musician and I think that’s what he was referring to. Anyway, Ayler also calls Taylor great and describes following him back to NYC. Ayler gigged with Taylor and Eric Dolphy and John Coltrane used to come see them live. One night after Ayler was heckled Dolphy defended him by calling him the best in the world. Ayler describes Coltrane as a person who never got angry at anyone. Before Coltrane died he requested that Ayler play at his funeral and of course Ayler oblidged.

Great history, one of your best entries tbh. ****, I could see a whole film being shot on the Ayler performance you described that could be really compelling even for someone who doesn't like jazz if it didn't fall into your typical biopic shortfalls.

That definitely makes sense considering their performance styles. Ayler loved him a good explosion but he also let it breathe. Cecil Taylor was all about the explosion and while he would let it breathe, it was usually heavy breathing. I guess you could say that Ayler's playing was a state of existence while Taylor's playing was more like a good fuck. Both very powerful and necessary things, but with very different approaches despite similar extremes.
