Andrew Bishop: De Profundis
Le temperature indulgono prevedibilmente al cameristico, però senza eccessi né autocompiacimenti di sorta: il cosiddetto "tiro" è garantito dalla costante propulsione offerta da Gerald Cleaver (peraltro sempre felicemente screziata, articolata), in particolare nei brani in cui Bishop si dedica ai sassofoni ("There Are Many Monkeys" e "The Commute," per esempio), col rimuginare del contrabbasso di Tim Flood (il trio è insieme da anni, e si sente) a far da collante.
Sono peraltro forse gli episodi clarinettistici (l'iniziale "Introit," "Bottled," il conclusivo "Benedictus"), nonché il flautistico "Six Days, Five Nights," i più preziosi di un album che raramente si adagia su se stesso, mantenendo invece viva la tensione intestina e la capacità di evolversi via via senza dare mai nulla per scontato.
