Music reviews of Church of Anthrax
Music Review: Timeless...
Rating: 5 Stars
Originally recorded in 1971, this collaborative (mostly instrumental) jam of Cale and Riley is a rare treat. Today it barely fills half a CD, but in that brief spell they bang and pound their way out into the open, on the border between space and density, and show us a work of genius. (It sounds like Riley sets the "tone" with droning percussive patterns, while Cale fills them out with energy, passion and whatever melody the compositions may have.)
This was one of my favorite albums in the late 70's, and I'm surprised how much it still rocks (rhythmically like a small boat tossed desperately on a big sea...) and moves me. The multiple layers of piano, organ, synth, horns, viola, guitar and percussion are a perfect balance of disjointed free fall and driving progressive patterns. And the one lyrical song is wonderfully enigmatic and evocative of a timeless moment in Wales. Ah, wouldn't it be grand if they reunited for a 40th year anniversary...
(from album cover..."...as soon as the time came to go, the dramatic sequence of obliteration took its toll on the landscape; the sky was immune. Gone." - John Cale)
