ECLECTIC MAYBE BAND - COSMIC LIGHT CLUSTERS

• eclectic maybe band: cosmic light clusters
      (2025, cd, UK, discus music)

The fifth release by the EMBand is entitled "Cosmic Light Clusters".
Again the album was puzzled together by Belgian composer and bass player Guy Segers.

For his Eclectic Maybe Band project, Guy invites musicians to perform his pieces, or to improvise. Sometimes live by performing together, but also by contributing from a distance.

The recordings are then arranged and puzzled into pieces and compositions by Guy.

The summary of participating musicians is rather large, but it's an impressive list. It's also an invitation to check out some of the names that do not sound familiar.

Somewhat more introspective and textural than its predecessor, Cosmic Light Clusters builds steadily from an opening trio of mood pieces through increasing activity and complexity as the album moves forward. Particularly engaging is Segers' use of voices and poetry on this recording.

I can only add that I enjoyed listening to it.
I'm also very happy with the detailed information on who played what on each track.
(It's Jimmy Agren playing the fine guitar solo on track 9, 'Bottle Opener'!)

Out on the UK-based Discus Music label, but (fortunately) also with a distribution center in Berlin, which is used for the mainland Europe customers.
