Description:
This is fantastic!!! This is the 2nd release from a remarkable group that traverses from ethereal black jazz and ethno-ambient to a craftsmanlike library! Secular Music Group, led by renowned film and television composer Christian Ruggiero, plays music with craftsmanship and a passion for old-fashioned recording methods and conventional studio technology. The group's latest release, "Volume 1," is a milestone in spiritual jazz library music, and its sequel, "Volume 2," is already available. Due to guitarist Ted Morcaldi's inability to participate in the sessions (although he did contribute a song to the album), the cast of musicians has changed slightly, with multi-instrumentalist Will Berman (MGMT) joining as the ensemble's fourth member and Greg LaPine, Yannis Panos, and Chris Ruggiero. The recording was made in the studio in just three days on 4-track analog tape, using only 1970s recording techniques.The last track, "Lake-Sea," was recorded live on a beach near the home of member and chief audio engineer Ruggiero. The freewheeling minimalism of "Volume 1" has been replaced by a more precise composition, with a greater emphasis on rhythm and melody. The piano is more prominent throughout the album, and the horn arrangements are reminiscent of spiritual jazz, with a delicate, introspective sound, In the thoughtful and introspective approach to improvisation that has remained consistent from the previous album, the meticulous studio and audio capture settings even make it seem as if you are the fifth member of the ensemble. While continuing along the lines of the critically acclaimed "Volume 1," this album is a giant leap forward in every respect.The soundscapes are ethereal black jazz, ethno-ambient reminiscent of Don Cherry and Jon Hassell, and craftsmanlike contemporary library masters such as Sven Wonder, but none of them are truly unique.
