Directions in Music

Performer: Directions in Music
Distributor: Alternative Dis. Alliance

Notes: Full performer name: Bundy K. Brown/James Warden/Doug Scharin. An all-star Chicago post-rock collaboration, Directions in Music is Bundy K. Brown (bassist in Gastr Del Sol, Tortoise), Doug Scharin (drummer for HIM, Rex, and June of 44), and James Warden (guitarist, 40K). Built upon love for improvisation, this album was the result of a three-day session in 1996. Infused with jazz, electronics, and rock, each member's full time efforts shine through effortlessly. Driven by dynamic beats, solid circular bass lines and light guitar melodies, the electronica is woven in. No song titles appear on the album, creating an atmospheric jam, where all instruments share in the slightly psychedelic, mellow rock. During the songs, as in true improvisation, each instrument takes a front seat, beginning and/or leading a melody. The fourth song begins with choppy, inverted reverb of the guitar turning into a clean, unaffected guitar tune. The bass holds down song seven; the acoustic guitar picks the strain on eight. All eight songs carry a diverse, downtempo theme, tied together by singular and collective talents.
