Ok, here we got ourselves a collaborative effort from then insane improvers Talibam! and the Gothic Junk folk experimentalism of Peeesseye, both emperors of the NYC improv scene playing in all sorts of outfits including the outstanding Storm and Stress. Anyway, after years of mutual friendship and touring activity they decided to get together and rock some purist improv fun and the results are mint. Matt Mottel's skronking keyboard drives these sessions into unlikely territories with his funk influenced, distorted organ tones and Kevin Shea is on fine form here playing blistering drums dictating the ambiance and flow of each development in the tracks. A rare vocal contribution brings things to ahead on the opener and makes for a lively intro to a consistently interesting, if slightly perplexing improv wigout. Should also note the significant contribution from the Peeeseye boys who provide an ambient framework of synth tones and guitars from which new ideas evolve. Definitely one of my favourite Talibam! albums i've heard so far and an excellent introduction to the power of Peeesseye. Please observe.

Peeesseye and Talibam! both emerged from experimental improv scene of New York City in 2002-2003. Peeesseye’s gothic junk-folk expressionism and Talibam!’s Sun Ra meets the Stooges energy music both betray their shared interest in expansion, exploration, and sheer unpredictability. Over the years, Peeesseye and Talibam! have shared bills and sat in with each other at numerous Brooklyn dates and increasingly, as the groups have each toured more and more overseas, at European gigs as well. In May 2008, they convened at a recording studio in Brooklyn to collaborate for the first time on a full set of music, which is a sprawling document of their work together, simply titled Peeesseye + Talibam! and now available on CD from Invada
