His monumental LP of solo soprano saxophone improvisations, recorded direct-cut and issued by Incus in 1978.Lovingly reissued by Treader — the CD is from PSI — using the original stampers, in a gorgeous hand-assembled sleeve, with glossy front and matt back, flaps out.Unmissable.‘Parker uses rapid tonguing techniques and circular breathing to create a sound all his own, marked by the simultaneous intonation of multiple notes. One hears a note as well as all the residual tones around it; each breath ends up sounding like a battle between the different registers of the horn. At various times, Parker’s saxophone sounds like dolphin speech, electronic tape squeals, or human murmurs; namely, anything but what it actually is. His language on the instrument is essential listening for anyone interested in acoustic experimental music’ (AllMusic).‘Eight years after Topography Of The Lungs, and two years after his Saxophone Solos, Monoceros was the most muscular statement of Evan Parker’s solo saxophone muse. Superbly recorded, it seemed to place the listener within the chaotic air flows of the saxophone’s own tubing. Philip Clark said: ‘Parker’s dialogue with the saxophone throws up so much that is unexpected, and indeed unknowable, that the problem he faces is how to keep pace with his own invention’’ (The Wire, Best Albums Of The Year).

Sorti en 1980 sur le propre label de Beverly Glenn-Copeland avec la participation de son collaborateur de longue date Doug Riley, “At Last!” doit son nom au fait que Glenn a mis beaucoup de temps à retourner en studio et à sortir de la nouvelle musique (ses précédents enregistrements remontaient à 1970) ! Cet EP ultra-rare révèle Glenn dans des modes funk, soul et rock profonds. Il fait partie d’une campagne de réédition en cours célébrant la production diversifiée de ce musicien légendaire et activiste transgenre.Beverly Glenn-Copeland - At Last!
