Martin Archer
English Commonflowers
CD
"Recorded 2000-2002, and picking up from its predecessor 'Winter Pilgrim Arriving' in using mainly tonal compositions, although overall it has a jazzier feel than the earlier recording. After the opening out-and-out Softs tribute 'I'm Yr Huckleberry', complete with monster organ solo and full horn section, the remaining compositions move between the zeuhl-like 'Water Grid', an amped up version of Nick Drake's 'Know', a couple of almost solo saxophone pieces, the highly abstract 'Mall Bunnies' where Messiaen meets massive death metal guitar, the atmospheric drone jazz of 'Down The Road' and 'Trash White Tonal', and the dub-wise title track. An accessible entry point to the varied Archer sound world".
