Description
The Wire-July 2005 issue 257: "Gush is the trio of powerhouse Swedish improvisor Mats Gustafsson on fluteophone, flute, sopranino, soprano, tenor and baritone saxophone, Sten Sandell on elektroniks, piano, harmonium and voice and Raymond Strid on guitar, percussion, objects, amplified and processed instruments. Recorded on 6 November 1996 at Stockholm's renowed Fylkingen studios, Electric Eel touches on a host of operating bases, from the slightest of semi-silent codes through moments of evocative Industrial drone and convulsive throat dialogues. While Sandell's melodic, Schlippenbach-styled piano work provides a vague anchor to the known jazz world, there are moments of bent electronic prankery here that sound closer to the kind of subversive infantilism of LAFMS groups like Doo-Dooettes and Airway, albeit blown to pieces by Gustafsson's eviscerating horn work." David Keenan
"Mats ! another dear and easy going old friend. i think he bought records from me before qbico happened and for sure he was in touch with Roberto since a long time (always for that sick habit: jazz records). i used to enjoy much Gush early releases (this being their only full proper vinyl release) and i was lucky enough to see them live at Vasteras when Mats invited the qbico gang years ago at his organized Festival... probably the vinyl is one of the coolest i did, thought it was not easy... i like the title (perfect for the kind of music) and the pic too." qbico
Listened to once. Vinyl in near-mint condition. Cover has a very minor one inch seam split at top and one corner is slightly bent. Otherwise excellent condition.
