Love

This was a great investement. Not only does the disc include the long out-of-print "Haunted Fish Tank" videos, it also features the videos released since that time, such as, the never officially released "R.I.P. 20 C." video. Some of these videos are very campy, but that should be expected from anything produced for Mtv in the mid 1980's. Overall I was impressed. The audio mix is great, the hidden video is great, the bubbleman E.P., comic book, and even David Lanfair (for those of you hardcore fans) is here. Even the Danial Ash and David J solo videos are good additions. If you like this band you need this DVD…

Trombonist Julian Priester, after playing with many different groups, including those of Sun Ra, Lionel Hampton, Dinah Washington, Max Roach, and Duke Ellington, was a member of the Herbie Hancock Sextet during 1970-1973. Hancock's intriguing ensemble went from funk to free blowing, and in its later period was experimenting with synthesizers. On Love, Love, Priester continues in that vein. The two lengthy improvisations are mostly on one-chord repetitive rhythmic vamps stated by the bass, featuring sound explorations and plenty of electronics. Only on the last half of the second medley does Priester himself emerge a bit from the electronic sounds. One is reminded of Bitches Brew, since that is an obvious influence, but also Hancock's group and Weather Report. The music develops slowly, but listeners with patience will enjoy the blending of the many different voices in this unusual musical stew.
