5.0 out of 5 stars Hannah Jones' dissonant masterpiece, October 10, 2006

I've had the CD for a few months now, they were selling it on tour, so it has had time to really sink in. It's a record of strange sounds, bizarre dissonant harmonies, and weird experiments that all intertwine into urgent beats, with lyrics sending a message of liberation & revolution - but from what? It's vague (and it's not at all political), and yet it is absolutely intriguing. Having heard a lot of really bad sound art in my life, it's amazing to hear it done right and how elements of it can be focused musically and create a new experience like happens on this album.

The album resists being broken into songs, much like on the Circulatory System album where she plays drums, in a sense it needs to be played through as an album to be appreciated, but really standout tracks are Experiment 24 & Minimal Animal, where everything comes together.

But this isn't a record of things entirely coming together, songs form and happen and fall apart and break into pieces and rearrange themselves back together. The songs happen and un-happen, and there really isn't much else out there like it that I have heard. The music is distant and disconnected, and maybe that disconnection is the liberation she's singing about.

E6 fans should listen for gorgeous contributions from John Fernandes, as well as Will Hart & Bill Doss.

This album is absolutely excellent. If you like OTC and Circulatory System, pick this up.
