Wisdoms End This album is already worth because of the song titles, but if you think "Oh no good Sir, words alone won´t make me arrange any business", than you might want to go for a walk into a percussionistic jungle where everything jingles, clinks, tingles and rings.
Just make sure you don´t get mauled to death from behind by an aggressive metallophone - you can´t stop here, it´s bell country.
Also do not feed the chimes, they might get sick. Favorite track: Where the Past Goes Once you Forget.

about

ensemble, et al.'s first full-length record, "present point passed", is the culmination of an incredibly productive period in which the group coalesced artistically into its own ideal of a musical unit. Since the beginning, the members of ensemble, et al. have shared a few key traits in common: an affinity for minimalist-vein new music, formal training in classical and jazz percussion, and—most importantly—extensive experience writing and performing in collaborative rock bands. For the group, the process of composing, rehearsing, and recording present point passed was an affirmation that a balance can be struck between adventurous, composer-driven music in the contemporary classical tradition and the collaboratively-created and improvised music of modern popular music traditions. That dual awareness has manifested itself not just in the sound of the group's music but also in their attitude and approach toward composition. The result of this approach is a record that powerfully demonstrates a democratic creative effort and the collective aesthetic of the group's members.

about

ensemble, et al. Brooklyn, New York

"The resonant, tonal palette of chimes, bells, and percussive ringing instruments effectively drum across the tight wire between post-punk textures, airport spaces, and the endless grass fields of the mind."
