Already when Steve Noble slowly brings his percussive assault into position on the M.A.N. lp, it is hard to keep track of who is playing what until the distinct features of Farida Amadou’s frenetic bass manipulations and Thurston Moore’s long-toned wails slowly give them away, just long enough until they collectively lift the music into oblivion and back again. Over on the B.A.N. lp, Brötzmann’s ferocious opening lament is instantly met by Noble and Amadou with a complex rhythmic web that pushes the dynamics to the limits but acts as a safeguard on this auditive rollercoaster as well.
Both M.A.N. and B.A.N. are exceptional trio efforts capturing different generations of improvisers at an absolute high. The M.A.N. – B.A.N. double lp in a gatefold sleeve was released in a limited edition of 300 copies on November 1st 2021. Order M.A.N. – B.A.N. while they last. Physical copy comes with a download code.
