Unwound is a fully satisfying dose of Tim Berne's Bloodcount (live, as always) in a three-disc set. The first two contain performances from March 1996 that took place in Berlin, while the music on the third disc comes from an April show in Ann Arbor, Michigan, which ended with an epic journey of an improvisation – the 40-plus minute "What Are the Odds." Disc one, "We're Only in It for the Food," starts with a medium burner that works into a groove called "Bro'ball." This piece (one of the box set's shortest, at 16 minutes) is followed by "No Ma'am," which allows the listener to get used to floating in the thick of the music before any graspable theme emerges (about halfway through).
Tim Berne has been described as “a saxophonist and composer of granite conviction” by The New York Times.

The music is characteristically action-packed in the Berne tradition: powerful, dynamic, often fast-moving - yet also very clear in all its teeming detail.

Ils jouent à ces jeux pour toutes sortes de raisons : pour éviter d'affronter la réalité, pour cacher des motifs profonds, pour rationaliser leurs activités, ou pour rester "en dehors du coup". Ces jeux - sauf quand ils se révèlent destructeurs - sont à la fois souhaitables et nécessaires. Le docteur Berne présente une analyse fascinante de trente-six jeux qu'il classe sous diverses rubriques …
Testo fondamentale della psicologia contemporanea A che gioco giochiamo ha costruito l'ipotesi e gli strumenti di un nuovo tipo di analisi terapeutica, l'analisi transazionale, utilizzando la rappresentazione della realtà in forma di giochi. Dire gioco significa dire in un altro modo, semplice ed esemplare, in che posizione e in che ruolo una persona intende mettersi (e finisce sempre per mettersi) rispetto a un ambiente o a un'altra persona. …
