Simon H. Fell dá notícia da recente edição o terceiro disco do trio britânico BADLAND, The Society Of The Spectacle (EMANEM 4120). Gravação de 2003, com Simon Rose, saxofone alto; Simon H. Fell, contrabaixo; e Steve Noble, percussão.
«Badland's third album takes them into new, more abstract territory. The heavy blowing is still there, but mixed with a crispness and rapid flexibility that heralds a new era».
«Badland is ten years old now, 'long live Badland'.
We look at the panorama and focus in on one particular part of the terrain to explore before moving on to another area. Badland measures history in sound, not words or images. The wind, strings and percussion are used in non-traditional and also traditional roles. The collective language has always tended towards dynamic extremes. We hope our music has some of the qualities of jazz in its original, unsanitised expression - and some others as well. We don't self consciously deny the innate possibilities of our instruments which are celebrated and extended. Improvisation doesn't belong to anyone. Some of the best contributions to improvised music have been made by people not playing. Sometimes improvisers with limited experience play poignant performances». - SIMON ROSE (2005)
