Recorded live on what can only be assumed was a warm
and expansive Italian night, 'Fragments From The
Inside' sees the coming together of incredible
Pianist / ambient master Harold Budd and long-time
Bill Laswell collaborator Eraldo Bernochhi, with
'Music For Fragments From The Inside'. Composed and
played on the hoof, 'Music For Fragments...' unfurls
with loquacious grace; a fact that is cemented on the
opening 'One'. So whilst in the foreground a
beautiful Benno Moiseiwistshca-esque piano part is
allowed time to languidly gather momentum, on the
fringes Bernocchi punctures the ambient membrane with
buckshot's of garbled digitalis that create a
thrilling juxtaposition which comes off a treat.
Elsewhere, 'Four' assumes a similar perspective
(albeit with the machines winning round two) to the
opening composition, 'Six' betters Jenkinson's
'Iambic 9 Poetry', whilst 'Two' is a claustrophobic
coalition of fidgeting beats and classical
flourishes. Closing with the slow burn marathon of
(you guessed it) 'Seven', Bernocchi and Budd have
created a soothing aural balm that whilst undoubtedly
honeyed, has enough piquant bite to keep your head
engaged. Amazing music.
