David Thomas Broughton vs. 7 Hertz (UK,2007)***°
No doubt that David Thomas Broughton’s distinguished unique voice (labelled as a cross between Odetta and Tim Buckley, -I added early John Martyn-) you will remember, once you've heard it. There’s an emotional richness in it, like a kind of hidden personal gospel message. He also has his own method of song building, making somewhere some loop-kind of emotional mediation condition whereon to improvise further into the mood, slowly, limited in chords, falling apart into sounds only. Leeds group 7 Hertz participated in his last release, improvising slowly along with their chamber orchestra, often a jazzy upright bass, keeping the endless openness moment in mind, where more guitar ideas come in, or distortions or effects continue the spheres like stretched outros. Last over 14 minutes track adds a few rhythmic block sounds to it, and the whole band becomes like a majestic slow submarine moving into waters, then falling apart into sonic sounds only. A nice snapshot of a concert. One very small track was an improvised more funny song, brought in like a little, fitting inside joke.
Locally (near where I live, in Antwerp) they sold this 5-track but over 60 minutes digipack new for only 7 euros and a bit.
