This show (and the office) alone helped stave off full mental collapse from ocd in middle school for me. Anyone else use this to regulate your nervous system without knowing what that was? This was literally when I could be calm was with them

The Saint: The World Beater (6.20, ITC, 1969)

"Are you alright?"

"Oh, sure I am. Happens to me every day on the freeway."

"For a moment, it certainly looked like curtains for the impetuous Simon Templar."

help why is leslie powell's voice so gorgeous it's literally so sexy

The Powells have too much power. They must be stopped. Glen’s out here being Glen, Leslie has the voice of a goddess out here singing top gun themed songs. How are we supposed to function?

Irreversible Entanglements — Protect Your Light (Impulse!)

Photo by Piper Ferguson

Given their sense of history and commitment to consciousness raising music it is entirely appropriate that Irreversible Entanglements should sign to Impulse! The home of John & Alice Coltrane, Archie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders and many of the other artists in whose steps the band follows. Partially recorded in Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio, Irreversible Entanglements focus their power on Protect Your Light. The eight tracks are shorter than we’ve come to expect but more expansive in both style and instrumentation. Poet Camae Ayewa continues her dissection of racist structures and celebration of the transformative power of culture and community. Her delivery measured and deliberate, as if now, in these times, clarity of meaning and purpose are paramount. She and bassist Luke Stewart, drummer Tcheser Holmes, trumpeter Aquiles Navarro and saxophonist Keir Neuringer double up on synthesizers, percussion, studio effects and overdubs to broaden their sound. The addition of guest artists amplifies the band’s commitment to community. Fly or Die cellist Leslie St Lewis, composer/poet Janice Low and vocalist Sovie make telling contributions.

The highlights are many. When “Free Love” breaks into a joyful march, the horns exultant over a rolling rhythm and Ayewa’s voice overdubbed and tripping with excitement. Lowe’s piano, Holmes’ thunderous drumming and Navarro’s spiraling solo during Ayewa’s exploration of the racist, colonial roots of capitalism on “Our Land Back.” Luke Stewart’s “Soundness” is Irreversible Entanglements at their knottiest, coolly enunciated words ring clear over rattling percussion, double tracked bass lines and horns that dance and duel. A surface of multiplicities swirling from a singular oceanic source. “root⇔branch,” celebrates the joyous energy of the late jaimie branch’s genre fluid music with St Lewis’s cello motif opening before a squall of synthesizers and trumpet explode into the chant of “We can all be free.” Lowe leads the ballad “Sunshine,” her voice evoking Minnie Riperton with Navarro’s muted trumpet and Holmes’ brushed drums contrasting with a tempest of synthesizer effects.

Ayewa remains a powerfully charismatic voice but as she points out Irreversible Entanglements is a collective, a band who combine to produce music of extraordinary invention, power and delicacy. Protect Your Light takes its place alongside Fire Music, Karma, Interstellar Space and the many other vital records recorded by Van Gelder for Impulse! Although explicit in their acknowledgement of that legacy, Irreversible Entanglements are looking forward, stepping up from the shoulders of the giants to shape a body of work that demands attention.
