Free Music Notes for Up All NightFree Music Review: takes some time to get into
another dude already said it best, what seems to be "lacking" in terms of melody etc on this album is made up for with rhythm and texture.. i cant really compare to other scofield albums, ive heard tons of his stuff but this is the only album i own and am familiar with, and its certainly not what i expected when i happily grabbed up my first scofield band record. i was expecting the sort of music you sit down and listen to for the enjoyment of skilled musicians cutting loose in the context of romping funk, full of long extended solos and wierd chord changes and obscure rhythms etc. this album has all of that, but its sort of subdued in a wash of effects and abstraction. when scofield starts goin off, its not the sort of solo you can sit there and listen to in the usual sense of a guitar solo, its just another layer of sound over the whole rhythmic mess (so to speak). so really this album i would say is more geared towards a dance/hip hop/electronic mentality than jazz, since the melodies and harmonies that usually drive jazz are deeply overshadowed by all manner of dirty audio tweaks and thunderously locked in grooves banged out by the drums and bass. approaching this album from a more "traditional" viewpoint, it understandably is kind of hard to take. first listen i was highly unimpressed, the beats were great and all but it was just too wierd. once you stop worrying about the general melodic aspect and listen to it more in the context of drum and bass or trip hop, you realize just how trippy and awesome an album it is. even so i think it takes some time to sort of tune into the abstraction of it, the sharp grittiness of the bountiful effects processing and the sort of unpredictable abstraction that john often goes off into, dousing long, incomprehensible, dizzying guitar runs with auto-wah and filtering etc.. once you get a feel for just what the band is doing it becomes an extremely fun listen however, awesome for background music, chill rooms at parties, spacing out on headphones, bumping out of car systems, all that good stuff.... definitely reccomended to abstract/experimental fans as well as electronic music peeps, those into the wierder manifestations of dnb, trip hop and breaks
