Zabriskie Point (2000)

The brief was to recreate a piece in the style of a track we had recorded in 1980: Zabriskie Point, for our 1996 appearance on MTV's Party Zone. Obviously a TV show built around dance music was ideal for a contribution from rmi involving not one discernable beat! During the week leading up to the recording of the show we explored the textures and themes we would use when it came to our second ten minute improvised slot.(we had arranged `Frozen North 2' for our first) This piece is the result of that week's work and is an evolving sequencer-free soundscape dedicated to the mystery, beauty and heat of Death Valley, California wherein Zabriskie Point is to be found. The album concludes with the very piece that started it all, from 1980.

Time & Motion

 
Featuring guest musician Martin Archer on all things woodwinds, the band takes their foundation of sequencer based material and stretches out the space within the beats (and for some the tracks on the album, there are no beats...so think about all that space!) The band is more interested in letting a scenic vibe come across, and it's one that you might not have expected after hearing an album like Rain Falls In Gray but it's more in the vibe of Philadelphia Air Shot in the idea of taking a starting point of an idea and letting it take control...
