Deadman's Ghost - Saccadic Rhythms
This release titled Saccadic Rhythms finds grooves with some different artists under the Deadman's Ghost project. Jason Mills & David Baxter (Deadman's Ghost) with three tracks on side one. With a flair towards the open plains and sonic expansiveness, these sounds combine rhythms with unspoken ballads. A complex arrangement, with roots in the past and growth towards the future. Like Joe Strummer's soundtrack for the movie Walker, the third track "Dustbowl Drifter" pushes even farther west. There is something untouchable about these sounds. Grand and distant, from places to remote to inhabit and from times long since past.
The second side contains two Deadman's Ghost tracks that are remixes of older material by Vertical67 and Ken & Ryu. The western feel dissipated for a modern snap on late night grooves and blissful voyages. The first track "Lysergic Lasso" remixed by Verticle67 holds allure with patience and clarity. Futuristic electronics glued to glassy funk origins, really nice all the way through. "Tandem Felix" is the title of the second track on side B. Remixed by Ken & Ryu, these sounds have pace and are driven by a wicked drum kit. All instruments are in perfect harmony, music just beyond your consciousness, the driving force of soul.
Released on cassette by the New York label Ephem-Aural. Lost in a Sea of Sound had the pleasure in describing a previous Deadman's Ghost release almost two years ago. Titled Hypocritical Oath and also on Ephem-Aural. Both releases are very different from each other. Well worth exploring each.
