Strange Strings
is a somewhat legendary album from the mid-'60s.
"Worlds Approaching"
is a great tune, anchored by a bass ostinato and timpani and featuring several fantastic solos, including
Marshall Allen
on oboe,
Robert Cummings
on bass clarinet,
John Gilmore
on tenor, and
Sun Ra
on electric piano. Off and on throughout the tune,
Bugs Hunter
applies near-lethal doses of reverb, giving the piece a very odd but interesting sound.
"Strange Strings"
is one of those songs that is likely to inspire some sort of "you call that music?" comment from your grandmother, or even from open-minded friends. It sounds like they raided the local pawnshop for anything with strings on it, then passed them out to the bandmembers. It's difficult to tell if some of these instruments have been prepared in some way, or if they're simply being played by untutored hands. There are also lots of drums and some viola playing from
Ronnie Boykins
that is also treated heavily with reverb. Despite the cacophony, there is a definite ebb and flow to the piece and what seem like different movements or themes. Whatever you think of the music contained, there's no denying that it produced some of the most remarkable sounds of the mid-'60s. If you don't like "out," stay clear of this one. ~ Sean Westergaard
