Fluid To The Influence

by Chris Abrahams

supported by

killtime A master improviser pushes himself into strange situations. The mix of modified field recordings, piano and organ drones all blend into something really special. Favorite track: The Stones Continued Intermittently.

Jascha Narveson I don't know how Chris Abrahams puts these tracks together - the tracks delight in inspired juxtapositions of sound with yet more sound and a bit of piano that somehow gel together and work in a beautiful way... Favorite track: 1 Liter Cold Laptop.

about

Chris Abrahams returns in 2016 with a new edition for Room40, Fluid To The Influence. Building upon the foundation of his previous three editions, Abrahams charts out a divergent course through lilting piano flows, distended organ passages, thunderous electronic eruptions and focused concréte explorations. Fluid To The Influence spans a huge spectrum of sound, each movement calling forward to the next in a flowing motion that demonstrates Abrahams’ commitment to and interest in the album as an artistic form.

Three

A highpoint in the recent Necks catalogue, I'd say, fusing the more textural approach of their later stuff with some of the groove-based energy of their earlier stuff, especially the last track "Further" which is a swaggering bluesy ramble. Tony Buck's drumming sounds like a wilderness field recording with its layers of sounds built up into large, breathing environments. The middle track "Lovelock" is a moody, mysterious nocturnal dreamscape. Jascha Narveson

this album has given me one of the most impactful musical experiences I've ever had. It was driving me crazy while I was listening to it, but somehow it managed to hook me, so I couldn't help but listen to it again and again and again. If it isn't art in its true form, then I don't know how to call it. Ivan Seal and The Caretaker, thank you for releasing this masterpiece. deebrok
