ALBUMS BY JACKIE MCLEAN AND GRACHAN MONCUR III

The vibraphone usually sounds playful, classy and friendly.  Who knew it could sound so menacing?  The following two albums are particularly eerie collaborations between saxophonist Jackie McLean and vibraphonist Grachan Moncur III.  On one album, trumpeter Lee Morgan makes an appearance.  It makes for very trippy and psychedelic mood music, perfect for those solitary moments of introspection.  I also suspect it is the perfect music for crazy people who are planning a murder!  Highly recommended (spooky) listening.

STARS OF THE LID AKA THE QUIETEST OF THE QUIET

Stars Of The Lid And The Refinement Of The Decline

The quietest of the quiet.  The softest soft.  Music, which can only be enjoyed as ambience—ambience of a dreamless sleep.  Sounds, which can only imply; which exist in a rare place between white noise and music.  Impossible to analyze, yet impossible not to feel something.  A trip, a thought or both.  Music to write to.  Music to think to.  Music to love to. Formless.  Perfect for a movie.  Almost nothing but absolutely something.
