The length of time between the initial appearance of Todd Fields'
movie about out-of-control paramedics and the release of this album
of music "from and inspired by" the film would indicate a rather
typical Laswellian post-production condition. In other words, rather
than release an album that compiles cues and themes from the motion
picture score, Laswell has instead reconstructed the work to provide
more structural cohesiveness indicated by the way the tracks segue
from one to the next, and the structural cohesiveness of several of
them, indicating that short cues have been repeated, combined, and
modified to create a song-like structure.
Otherwise, the album provides a condensed trip through many of
Laswell's touchstones -- ambient drones, modified world music
elements, cracking funk, ear-bleed level rock, explosively percussive
rhythm structures, and so on. Nicky Skopelitis provides terrific
support via some blazing guitar work, while Lance Carter's drumming
seems (in terms of Laswell's production methods) less significant by
far. Broken Vessels is not one of Laswell's milestones, by any means,
but it is an engaging and propulsive recording. -- Steven E. McDonald

Now releasing more than the 5 rels per week our good old manifest
said we would. We are growing every day, and we just cannot help it.
h e l p f u f f e n s
We are looking for quality sites in Europe and US, to be afilliated
on. Remember, we're not in it for the creds, but for the spreading
of quality music - we just want to get our releases out to the ppl
that wants/needs it. More pre sites fills this purpose.
