[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Bird Show Band - BSB Synthesizer Solo
Bird Show Band (Amish Records)
As has been made obvious by the album cover, instrumentation on Bird Show Band’s self-titled debut includes a Moog Voyager and an ARP 2600. Though much of the record is based out of modern jazz structure, the synthesizers are utilized quite creatively, to some spacey and often strange effects. Matmos fans take note.
The record clocks in at around 37 minutes, and, making use of both previously mentioned synths, as well as an array of percussion and an upright bass, is rewarding throughout. ”Quintet Two” is heavily grounded in jazz, but utilizes the unique timbre of the synths to really break free of the mold. ”BSB Synthesizer Solo” creates interesting textures and I can only assume is some sort of tribute to the Backstreet Boys.
