OLNEYVILLE SOUND SYSTEM: Efforts In Freedumb CD (HOSPITAL PRODUCTIONS/LAST VISIBLE DOG)
Two long-running 'micro indies' team up to make a full-press CD by this hip, hot, happening, and altogether up and coming underground neo no wave gruppe. You might have already heard of the Olneyville Sound System from a heavy record they put out on Load. They're basically like the the Deep Purple of fin de siecle Providence, RI design school dropout rock. Deep Purple if, that is, lead guitarist Ritchie Wankmore was out of the equation, because Olneyville, as a trio of heavy keyboard (Jon Lord), fuzz bass (Roger Glover), and heavy drumming (Ian Paice), do not use the six-string. Okay, forget Deep Purple, the music on this album has no vocals, so with both Blackmore and 'Trillin'' Gillan out of the equation, what Efforts really sounds like is a big lumbering hybrid of mid-to-late Heldon, electric Miles, and the original Public Image Ltd. Or maybe just improvised-from-memory versions of Magma songs played at 16 RPM.
