On the off chance people hadn't already make the causal link
between Kieran Hebdon's output as Four Tet and Fridge, and
legendary drummer Steve Reid (think Sun Ra, James Brown, Miles
Davis, Leon Thomas, Fela Kuti, Ornette Coleman...) - they've
only gone and decided to record some improvised sessions and
put them out through Domino. A pleasing epilogue to the live
shows they collaborated on last year, 'The Exchange Session
Vol. 1' could have been a platinum-plated ball-ache - as two
esoteric musos try to outdo each other in the improv arena.
However, thanks to the consummate skills of those involved,
pieces like 'Morning Prayer and 'Soul Oscillations' are itchy
coalitions of styles; with Reid's astonishing skin-dexterity
the perfect backbone to Hebden's more meandering tracts.
Peppered in horns, bass, guitars and a percussive buffet to
sate the healthiest of appetites, 'The Exchange Volumes...' is
a treat which will appeal to fans of the protagonists,
Tzadik-heads and anyone who is happy to explore the outer-rim
of improv. Exchange and Mart! -boomkat
