Willie Oteri-SpiralOut
Review by Bruce Stringer
Produced, recorded and mixed by Ronan Chris Murphy, "Spiral Out" is an
extension of the improvisational outings that made acts like John
McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra and Tony Williams Lifetime, King
Crimson and even Frank Zappa the uniquely memorable experience that
made musical history. Whatever is in Willie Oteri's water, I think
it's high time that it was poured into the two dimensional cesspool
which is what some of the homogenized and pasteurized modern music
industry has become today. Gone are the walls of conformity and the
limitations of clichéd musical formats. What this stripped down
skeleton of raw musical talent leaves us is pure musical spontaneity.
This is pure back brain music with a brilliant cast. Tony Levin
crosses the sound waves with skin maestro Pat Mastelotto and keys man
Mike Keneally, all the while allowing Willie's guitar madness to take
off and to subtly lay a musical platform for the Miles-esque trumpet
of Ephraim Owens. Production genius, Murphy, is also released onto the
recording with some Rhodes piano playing proving that music can once
again allow the 'spirit of adventure' breathe through it.
