Album Description The trio is co-led project for the three of these Midwestern boys. They knew each other when they were still green: Ethan was still in high school when this trio first played a session! For those of you NY types who don't know Dave yet,let me tell you he is amazing and ferocious player who is already a legend in the Midwest.(He is a founding member of the Minneapolis super group "Happy Apple".)This new CD features original material as well as raucous covers of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Knowing Me,Knowing You".

CD ReviewsQuirky release from uber avants before their time Ellis Godard | Moorpark, CA United States | 04/04/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "The Bad Plus really shined on their follow-up These Are the Vistas, which received a modicum of attention and probably deserves more. On this earlier release, originally (and possibly still) on a Spanish label, some of the grooves are mellower than the peaks that Vistas reaches - but, then, maybe that's why they were called vistas. Motel was the place they stayed on the way to the peaks, and will interest you once you've experienced the vistas - but perhaps not if you, like the band, go to Motel first." Not a choice if you have money for ONE CD Erik Jan Paul Moller | Marbella, Spain | 12/12/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "The Bad Plus has better CDs (as for example suspicious activity or prog). Too hard in some areas where they are possibly abusing of their style. Clearly: I like this trio very much, but really there are better CD from them. In case that you have money for ONE CD, better go for suspicious activity or other previous ones (or why not trying some CD from "E.S.T. -Esbjörn Svensson Trio)." 'Early' Bad Plus N. J. Vink | The Netherlands | 01/18/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "Clearly an 'early' Bad Plus, but nonetheless a very interesting album.
The music is not yet as compact as on the albums they've recorded after this one, but all the Bad Plus ingredients are already in it. If you haven't yet got an album from this trio I would recommend you 'Prog', their latest one." |
