Free Music Notes for Free Form Funky Freqs: Urban Mythology, Vol. 1
Free Music Review: Get Your Freq On
Hit: 5 Stars
For anyone who's familiar with these guys, this record is basically a crank-it-up no-brainer. If you're not familiar with them, or if you know Vernon Reid only from his Living Colour days, there's no better place to start. Despite the "free form" in the name, there's nothing out-there about this, in the chaotic manner, say, of Ornette Coleman's Prime Time. This is mainly very accessible funk-rock material, pretty much guaranteed to appeal to just about anyone who gets off on a power trio. The opening and closing tracks may be a little on the spacey side, with some guitar synth and laptop work from Reid, but it's not anything a metalhead can't handle. As for Tacuma's bass-in-ya-face, he sounds so good here it's ridiculous. I find myself listening to him as if he were out front, with Reid receding into the background. So here's looking to Vol. 2. As good as this is, though, for a truly adventurous Tacuma/Weston-based guitar record, check out Mirakle, with the late, great Derek Bailey doing his genuinely freaky thing over smokin' funk grooves. It lives up to its name. No idea, incidentally, why Amazon is offering only an SACD version of this Freqs record. I got it from iTunes. There's nothing about an SACD version on the Thirsty Ear site.
