Post Prandials - flight (CD)



Post Prandials are an improvisational / experimental loose collective from Brooklyn, New York, USA.  The lineup on this album is made of: Bob Aaron (plastic flute, synthesizer), Michael Curran (synthesizer, accordion), Keith Nicolay (electric guitar, percussion table, apple), Wendy Leeds (vocals), Ted Goldberg (guitar, synthesizer, recorder, percussion table), John Burgos (synthesizer), and Ed Rollin (oboe, soap box, bird calls, mouth, Brazilian whistles, ocarina, synthesizer, real-time sonic treatments). This is a long album (8 tracks = 68 minutes). The whole album definitely sounds improvised i.e. randomly constructed / organized psychedelic / psychotronic sonic chaos with a singer going into opera / 4AD territory. Those are jam sessions of utter cacophony. On a positive note, it`s not harsh noise, that`s for sure. It definitely sounds like some lo-fi noodlings mixed with psychedelic sounds from the sixties (old Pink Floyd anyone?). To quote Paul Ellering `when my boys are good, they`re good, but when they`re bad, they`re really bad`. Fans of Hal McGee will like it. Hey, to each his own.
