Satoh, Masahiko -& Soundbreakers-

Amalgamation

One of the most tripped-out albums you'll ever hear from Japanese keyboardist Masahiko Satoh, and that's saying a lot, considering some of his other avant sessions of the '70s! This one's a really free-form jam, recorded so that each of the two long tunes takes up a side of the record apiece, one with really full-on, frenzied noise, courtesy of some ring modulators played by Satoh, undercut with some really heavy drums from Louis Hayes, a surprising entry for a session like this! The second part has a sound that's a bit more organic - some spare percussion at first - but the record then moves into noisier territory too, and even features some cool scatting female vocals.
