This is pretty much your standard Dead show fare with one exception: "Dark Star". Shortly into Dark Star, Jerry cracks open the void and leads his brethern through some of their most intuitive playing ever. It's all there: the Dead play with passion, color, texture and clarity. It is 23 minutes in a transcendent reality where the listener and the music are the same thing. It is too bad it is the opening cut on the album because the rest of this excellent show pales in comparison to the first 23 minutes of the best Dead zone ever.

Mongol - Doppler 444 (1997) [Reissue 2013] Music

Posted by gribovar at Nov. 23, 2013

Despite its twenty years of existence, the Japanese band Mongol was able to record one album only… But what an album! Today reissued by the Musea label, this "Doppler 444" (1997) makes us travel between creative jazz-rock fusion and Zeuhl music. The eighteen minutes of "Greatful Paradise" are just stunning, including the influences of Weldorje, Magma, Art Zoyd and Univers Zero, assimilated with power and strength. The rest of the album is made of brilliant symphonic instrumentals, worthy of Ain Soph or Kenso, enlightened by the skills of keyboardist Takeshi Yasumoto and guitarist Hirofumi Miloma. To conclude, this reissue is augmented by three very good live bonus-tracks.
