Louis Sclavis: Aboard Ulyssess Boat

A circular, menacing bass line; a slow, simmering, sinister groove; slippery guitar lines and sparse horn parts. Sounds a little like Miles Bitches Brew, doesnt it? Sclavis and Metzger regulate themselves to the background, playing in harmony to carve out a curtain of chords above Létés pulse. This leaves the floor largely to Delpierres guitar, which puts forth an ominous and delectable mix of surf and Sonny Sharrock, guitar effects and all.

Coming Aboard Ulyssess Boat is like taking an intrepid voyage home knowing that unknown dangers lie ahead. But thats where the thrill of the ride comes from, too.
