Amazing grooves from the legendary Dave Pike – one of the American
vibists' few albums for the MPS label – and quite possibly the trippiest
of the bunch! The set's a beautiful illustration of the freedoms that
the MPS label offered American players like Pike – a chance to really
open up and do his thing, and find new sides and styles he'd never
expressed before on his records back home! Of course, part of the
strength of the set is the group he's working with here – an ensemble
that includes the amazing Volker Kreigel on guitar (and sitar!), plus JA
Rettenbacher on bass and Peter Baumeister on drums. But, lest you
think this is a standard quartet affair, let it be known that all
players – including Pike – handle a very wide variety of instruments
throughout the session – including bongos, toys, maracas, other
percussion, and more – even a bit of vocalizations as well! Tracks
often have a slow-building, slightly-trippy feel that's totally great –
and Kreigel's work on guitar is a perfect pairing with Pike's vibes –
especially as both players are clearly digging an Eastern influence for
the set.
