THE NECKS.

The Necks have redefined hipness on their own terms... After twenty two years, the creative flow of these three master improvisers is as strong and deep as ever. They don't just attract admirers or fans; they attract devotees - people whose imaginations have been sparked by the never-the-same-way-twice dreamy music, and who hang out for another fix.

Chris Abrahams (piano), Tony Buck (drums), and Lloyd Swanton (bass) create a brilliant mix of the calculated and the spontaneous, which under constant fire develops an almost hypnotic effect that cannot be resisted. As a painter fills the screen with colour, so the musical layers pile up on top of each other, until after an hour's playing time everything collapses, glowing in magnificent noise.
