CD SIDE EFFECTS

Description

'Side Effects' is the second album by British group Eardrum, released on September 27, 2001. This CD offers a unique blend of improvisation, Afrobeat free jazz, musique concrète, and carnival street music. Inspired by artists like Miles Davis, Lee Perry, and Fela Kuti, the album evokes cinematic imagery through dark urban and untamed rural contrasts. Utilizing talking drums, tone drums, various effects, and computer programming, it creates continually evolving musical textures that induce a sense of motor drive and hypnotic travel. 'Side Effects' serves as the link between the ambient rhythm-scape of their debut album 'Last Light' and the dynamic, unpredictable energy of Eardrum's live performances.
