| QUOTE |
If Mountains Could Sing Terje Rypdal | ECM by Bill Milkowski Rypdal's 15th for ECM neatly intergrades his varied interests in his pensive chamber compositions, catchy pop structures and outrË soundscapes bursting with spiky guitar shrapnel. It's hard to imagine covering this many bases on a single project (and inconceivable for any American label). But the Norwegian guitarist/composer has always been a fiercely uncompromising artist who has taken full advantage of the freedom afforded him by his German record company. "But On The Other Hand" and "Private Eye" hit as heavy as vintage King Crimson while the etheral title track floats as delicately as an Erik Satie piano piece. The brooding "Lonesome Guitar" and "Foran Peisen" both make dramatic use of space, a longstanding ECM trademark. These airy pieces are butted right up against denser, caustic offerings like "One For The Roadrunner" and "It's In The Air" which might have more appeal for the grunge set than chamber music or jazz fans. He uses strings as a dissonant foil/wash behind his own solos, which lend a Stravinsky-esque quality to the proceedings. - Bill Milkowski |
