Pace Yourself
''Pace Yourself'' is an album by saxophonist Tim Berne's Caos Totale which was recorded in 1990 and released on the JMT label.Shimada, T.JMT label discography accessed October 9, 2014 Reception The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick states "''Pace Yourself'' finds Berne's Caos Totale sextet exploring his rich, multi-layered compositions in depth and at length. Berne's pieces, especially his longer, episodic ones, tend to take unexpected twists and turns; you'll find very little of the traditional "head-solos-head" song structure here. Though most of his themes have a blues base, they emerge and disappear in conformity with their own logic, not a pre-existing formula".Olewnick, B.Allmusic Reviewaccessed October 9, 2014 Track listing ''All compositions by Tim Berne'' # "Bass Voodoo" - 9:57 # "The Noose" - 7:36 # "The Usual" - 8:18 # "Sam's Dilemma" - 13:36 # "The Legend of P-1" - 26:24 # "Luna" - 4:31 Personnel *Tim Berne - alto saxophone *Herb Robertson - trumpet, corne ...

Science Friction (album)
''Science Friction'' is a studio album by saxophonist Tim Berne which was recorded in 2001 and released on Berne's Screwgun label. Reception The AllMusic review awarded the album 4 stars stating "in the case of ''Science Friction'', the result is yet another peak in his recording career -- although when one considers Berne's other releases of the early '00s, the peak looks more like a plateau".Lynch, D.Allmusic Reviewaccessed October 17, 2014 The All About Jazz review said that "Compared to Berne's earlier efforts, ''Science Friction'' represents a high-water mark.

Reception The AllMusic review awarded the album 4½ stars stating "With its episodes of artful skronk lurking about, ''Open, Coma'' remains an uncompromising recording best suited for adventurous ears. But with its kaleidoscopic palette of colors and electric charge and groove conjuring up thoughts of Gil and Miles, this may be one of the best places for the uninitiated to begin investigating the world of Tim Berne".Lynch, D.Allmusic Reviewaccessed October 16, 2014 Pitchfork's Chris Dahlen said "it's no surprise that for all the colors and nuances of Berne's and conductor Ture Larsen's arrangements, this band is primarily an instrument of force. The great Basie and Ellington orchestras could get just as raucous, but they also had elements of swing and "cool" that Ber ...

Here, the musicians straddle the outside while also providing supplementary insight into familiar musical territories.
