(performed for and witnessed by Eric & Mary Thoelke)
A drum puzzle unfurls and Bill rips right in over Goddard’s one note restraint, the synth hurls several off beat taunts, then retreats into space sounds.
A fractious groove starts, with rim licks, impudence from the synth stops everything, and Goddard offers a four-note line, Bill shudders high over that, and the beats harden.
A metal clank jerks it, the bass gets badder, Bill bubbles over, the beat gets real, the groove comes, and Bill goes into master mode. Grooves evolve, the synth gets loud, and things back up under a Bill Morris shake.
The synth comes up, the drums get frantic, then break into a racing, forward thrust, until the drums slack off, the bass hits the lone notes to end the piece, under cover of congas.
