Press Reviews Rudis/Custodio/Diaz-Infante - CRASHING THE RUSSIAN RENAISSANCE: You'll hear lotz of "crashes" (as well as burns, singes & "ow-ies") on this masterful little improvised CD in from Pax Recordings. Ernesto's guitar is prominent in the mix, but the synth-lines (from Rudis, Matrix 12) are quite audible as well. If you've got th' history in your head, think (way) back to many of the TransMuseq works that Davey Williams & LaDonna Smith played on... now add 21st century synth/electronics & change th' guitar from purely electric to amplified acoustic, & you'll have a pretty good idea! HIGH energy, intricately woven textures & spacey vox that keep your mind racing, trying to anticipate th' next bend in th' groups' twisted itinerary. It is often very hard to capture this kind of improvisation on a recording, but this one was done exceptionally well... it's REALLY close to "being there". Fans of Bobby Darin & (other) bobby-soxers probably won't find this trips th' light fantastic for them... but dedicated improv listeners everywhere will HAVE to get this one... it's MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED... gets our "PICK" of the issue for "best electronic improvisation", too!
