this. Later, when it's over, the closing lights come on, you ascend the steps to the midnight street corner.
Immediately, you're descending the steps to the action inside. The speakeasy doors swing open, the cowboy at the saloon entry, the trio on the small dimly-lit stage thrashing fingers or sticks to their instruments.
It's late at night, a stiff drink, you put this album on. Flickering like the candle on your table.
Notes rolling, popping, lilting and tilting. Audio constellations seen by your ears.
Light a cigarette, flip your collar up, and enjoy the walk home.If that sounds like a nice evening to you, get. album.
I'd recommend buying either "It's a Jungle." or "Shack man" and listen to it from start to finish a couple dozen times. This is a great album but I wouldn't recommend buying it. This album has a great assortment of songs which show off many of their older sides, but do not weave the wonderful stories their other complete albums do. Those are amazing experiences. Once you listen to those two, you will buy the rest of their music, and then have no need for this "greatest hits album."
MMW is a hip and modern jazz trio with a penchant for experimentation and funky beats. Either just poor track selections or a failure for the tracks to merge into a cohesive whole. I often have issues with "best of" releases. Their sound isn't for everyone. But that's not the case with Last Chance. It's excellent from start to finish and represents MMW very well. But if you're looking for something fresh and exciting, definitely grab this cd. It's a great intro to the group.
.most of this disc had to grow on me, like that hand-like parasite from the alien movies.and after awhile it did just that. they grabbed me by the throat and told me to pay attention. they on some jazz-fusion stuff, not as hard as herbie hancock's 'rockit' but related.in fact, they probably can be considered the next generation art-of-noise (a group i use to love back in the day).some of the music here really stands out, i'm glad to have this in my collection.
listen to this only if you're in need of a soundtrak for underwater alien observation or you're trying to drive someone crazy. This band (using that term loosely) sounds like a combination of people who've forgotten how to play their instruments and Dead Heads with nothing else to do. It is simply the worst thing I've ever heard. I saw them last night live and they were even worse in person.
