Fanu & Bill Laswell - Lodge

FANU is Finland’s and perhaps the world’s finest breakbeat splicer and re-imaging doctor. His programming, layering, and arrangements of classic breakbeats are truly some of the most innovative and by far the most realistic sounding – akin to a jazz drummer with no boundaries and seventeen available drum kits at once. BILL LASWELL is the grammy award winning producer of Herbie Hancock, bassist and arranger extraordinaire. Fresh off the amazing Method of Defiance record “Inamorata”, he’s completed this follow up recording, which also features Parliament Funkadelic keyboardist Bernie Worrell and Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer prominently. Album: If you took the electric period of Miles Davis, with less repetition, more funk, and mad scientist drummer, you might end up halfway to LODGE. Half time vamps swing with steady funk bass from Laswell and one of Bernie Worrell’s most inspired keyboard performances since PFunk, LODGE turns it out with much more emphasis on the groove. Bits of drum n bass and floating trumpet maneuver over the core modular pieces; a much less harsh sound than the Method of Defiance project, more demonstrative of the soul of Laswell’s funktronics. Label: Ohm Resistance is Brooklyn’s premier experimental electronic label. Loaded with power, from Scorn, to Bill Laswell and his project Method of Defiance, to End.user and Submerged, the label has transformed from drum n bass 12" powerhouse to cutting edge electronic project pioneer.
