continuum - yttrium
Extraordinary music for theremin & live electronics, guitar, and drums.
Continuum go into the studio and come out with music that goes further. Screaming theremin, ECM style jazz, minimal organ grooves, wild guitar, haunting low Irish flute, restless impressionistic drums, surreal dreamscapes. It's all here and more. Jazz in space?

background
at the time

After over a year if regular monthly live improvised electronic music concerts, releasing 2 live albums, Chris Conway decided to take his Continuum trio into a big studio and record especially the drums in a more controlled environment - recording drums live often makes for compromises.
The drums sounding so full and dynamic moved the music away from some of the minimal ambient music that can be heard on their previous Best Kept Secret album.
This made things more lively, perhaps with more of an ECM jazz feel to the sound and with more soloing and interaction than before.

Retrospect

This album captured a wider variety of sounds from Continuum. Sometimes wild, sometimes haunting and reflective, fusing electronic music, jazz, ambient, minimal and more ina unique way.
This album also launched a new label for CCs electronic music - Zorpin Music.
