Lope And Antilope
Lope and Antilope is the fourth studio album by the Bristol based jazz rock quartet Get the Blessing, released in 2014. The album was recorded in a pottery workshop in Pembrokeshire, a change sought by the band to escape the conventional recording process. Recording began with no songs written, thus the band mostly improvised over a period of four days. Reception In a review for The Quietus, Sean Kitching called the album "excellent," and wrote: "The album's greatest strength is its warm, spacious and organic sound... its content is as much about the sense of space evoked as the notes themselves." The Guardian's John Fordham stated: "Their strategy is a jazz horn sound derived from Ornette Coleman's unruly sax/trumpet harmonies, laid over the hooks and backbeats of rock – and here they do it with even more laid-back nonchalance than usual, and a wider sweep of sound effects... It's probably their best album yet, and the titles aren't bad either." Ian Mann of The Jazz Mann c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Archived froon 23 November 2010 Against the conventional wisdom – dating back to audio pioneer Edgar Villchur – that the loudspeakers determined the sound of a hi-fi system, and that amplifiers were simply a means to an end in moving the speakers, Vereker set about putting his ideas into practice.

Bugs In Amber
''Bugs in Amber'' is the second album by the Bristol based jazz rock quartet Get the Blessing, released in 2009 (see 2008 in music). The tracks are all instrumental, although other versions of "The Unnameable" and "Bugs in Amber" (re-titled "Moot") have been performed with vocals live, and recorded in session for the BBC 6Music ''Freakzone'' programme. The album was favourably received by the British broadsheets. The Sunday Times stated that "Get the Blessing care little for the rule book: “wonky rock-jazz” is how the Bristol quartet sum up the sax and trumpet interplay. There’s a cool intelligence at work... Deamer lays down the firmest of beats without drowning his colleagues in the backwash. One of the quirkiest British releases of the year". The Guardian noted that "this follow-up... cuts the excellent Judge and McMurchie a lot more solo slack, while sustaining the strength of the composing, the deafening dancefloor drive and the ensemble inventiveness", and summed up w ...
