Thanks handsomefortune and charles. A chance at last to hear MOPDTK and make up my own mind about this controversial band. The downloader won't initialise for some reason - maybe 'cos the system happens to be sluggish this evening, so I'll try again in the morn.

Just managed to get that link to work, thanks again Charles. About halfway through it's starting to drain me. They're good musicians, no question, but old-time eclectics, and not as radical as I'd expected. More Mingus than AACM or Zorn. They're probably best experienced in the flesh... by people who "get" their sort of humo(u)r.

Yes, indeed, Serialist. A straight ahead group - no doubt about it. But, the price to audit is fair! Peter Evans' release - Ghosts - is quite 'out-there' as well as his work alongside (guitar) Mary Halvorson.

It's high time I heard the much-vaunted Mr Evans in congenial contexts, Charles. Mary Halvorsen is just terrific - having heard her in company with Ingrid Laubrock at the Vortex earlier this year.
