Fonda/Stevens Group: Forever Real
ByIn one of the album's most interesting moments, bassist Joe Fonda brings his instrument from the background and initially duets with Robertson on "Relentlessness. They later start improvising on their own, while the human beat box of Napoleon Maddox joins drummer Harvey Sorgen in what becomes a harrowing backdrop for the song.
This album is definitely not intended for the casual listener. It needs to be heard over and over in order to grasp what it means. It can be a bit of a scary ride at first, but you get used to it and realize that these musicians had a whole concept in mind when creating this strange but wonderful music.
