A Release from 1975 reissues from an experimental artist in a time when
music like this was very experimental and almost no one would take an
adventurous listen in the world over ultra avant jazz and ambient
sounds. From what I am learning on Ariel Kalma he is a French born horn
player and after a journey to India this release was created. You can
very much hear the eastern influences going on in the horn's
progression and they way that Le Temps des Moissons is layered. This
must has been something John Zorn was draw to and if not I hope he will
listen now an see a great work 30 yrs ago. There is a very psychedelic
element to this as a whole . I really like the way the simple eastern
percussion adds to the musical experience as a whole. Beta lactum Ring
has really found a true gem here.
Le Temps des Moissons is not something that everyone
will like. I would call this more an aural tapestry then musical
release as there are very non musicial moments with Ariel Kalma. I
think Mr Kalma much like Coltrane, Mingus and Bird got odd looks for
there stretch of what Jazz was is very much what was going on in 1975
on the avantgarde music from for Ariel Kalma.Being that this was his
1st solo release it makes it all the more special to the listener ,
well to this listener anyway. As you can feel the personal connection
to what Ariel Kalma is creating here.
Le Temps des Moissons is expertly displayed in a very thick hardcover
book binding like digipak . Limited to just 500 copies so it's sure to
go rather fast. All i know is with Le Temps des Moissons . I Now need
to hear more of Ariel Kalma as this is only the begining of his 30 yr
journey into aural magic. An with this taste you'll be hooked I'm sure
as much as I've become if you just close your eye's open your mind a
bit and see how much is really going on here. Excellent. Excellent.
Excellent. Ok I think I've made my point load and clear.
