Edwin Colin & Lorenzo Feliciati - Twinscapes (180 G)

Facts Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 collaboration between these two acclaimed bassists from two different continents - Italian Lorenzo Feliciati (of the adventurous Jazz-Rock band Naked Truth and the intensely searching Nu Jazz group Berserk!) and Australian Colin Edwin (of the longstanding Prog-Rock band Porcupine Tree and the heavy-duty, experimental Metallic Taste of Blood as well as Ex-Wise Heads and Burnt Belief). with special guest appearances by acclaimed trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer, saxophonist David Jackson (of Van der Graaf Generator), Swiss percussionist Andi Pupato (of Andreas Vollenweider and Nik Bartsch's Ronin) and drummer Roberto Gualdi (of the Italian Prog-Rock band PFM), this bass-dominant project, which was mixed by renowned bassist-producer Bill Laswell, travels from Ambient soundscapes to slamming Funk workouts and kinetic grooves to cinematic-sounding pieces that defy easy categorization. And there are plenty of virtuosic fireworks along the way by all the principal soloists on this outstanding RareNoise release.
