  1. Notes From The Underground

    This is the first Medeski, Martin and Wood CD which was recorded in 1992. One of the interesting things about this CD is that it is completely acoustic, compared to their usual electric funk and jazz with heavy synthesizers and sound effects, this is completely acoustic. Alot of the songs are very loosely structured and are full of abstract improv's. Some songs seem to go off on great tangents with the musicians banging away randomly on their instruments with little sense of direction, but after building up to a climax, the melody always seems to reappear and bring the band back together to finish off a great song. If your a Medeski fan, this is a great CD to listen to, to see where they have come from. I could have done without most of the abstract sections, but as always MMW is always able to hold a groove and jam till no end, and Notes From The Underground is no exception.
