Mike Cooper – Soprano – An Homage to Lol Coxhill (2024)

Mike Cooper fashions a heartfelt ode to the much missed Lol Coxhill here, enlisting a raft of soprano sax players to pay their respects to the free-improv great’s overwhelming influence.
There aren’t many soprano sax players who have cast a shadow as long as Coxhill has. Cutting his teeth on US air force circuit playing jazz and blues, he dipped into the Canterbury scene in the ’60s, going on to collaborate with everyone from Mike Oldfield and Shirley Collins to David Toop, Derek Bailey and Fred Frith. Cooper was long tangled with Coxhill; they had known each other since the ’60s, and eventually formed an improv trio called The Recedents alongside drummer Roger Turner. The band lasted a good two decades, and Coxhill played on Cooper’s 1996 solo plate ‘Island Songs’. So who better to put together a memorial album? And typically for Cooper, ‘Soprano’ is a freewheeling set of experiments that capture Coxhill’s outsized personality. Each track is made with a different soprano sax player, all of whom Coxhill touched in some way, and each track seems to veer in a completely new direction thanks to Cooper’s eccentric hand.

Electric Warrior is a 1971 album by Marc Bolan’s band T. Rex, their sixth since their debut as Tyrannosaurus Rex in 1968, and their second under the name T. Rex. The album marked a turning point in the band’s sound, dispensing with the folk-oriented music of the group’s previous albums and pioneering a flamboyant, pop-friendly take on electric rock and roll known as glam rock. The album reached number 1 on the UK charts and became the best selling album of 1971. Electric Warrior has since received acclaim as a pivotal release of the glam rock movement.

Although it features the beautiful recorder of Leslie Penny and the Chieftains’ Paddy Maloney playing the uilean pipe, Ommadawn didn’t gain Mike Oldfield the success he was looking for – The album was released in the same year as the David Bedford-arranged Orchestral Tubular Bells and nine months after Oldfield picked up a Grammy award for the original Tubular Bells album – The most pleasing attribute of Ommadawn is its incorporation of both African and Irish music in its symphonic rock & roll mainframe – Boosted by a hearty amount of different horns, piano, cello, trumpet, and synthesizer, the album has its moments of rising action, but the whole of Ommadawn fails to keep its lovely segments around long enough, and there are some rather lengthy instances that include bland runs of unvaried music – Another plus is Oldfield’s use of a choir, giving the album a soft, humanistic feel when contrasted against the keyboards or synthesizer – While it does include flashes of Mike Oldfield’s brilliance, the entire album may seem a little anticlimactic when compared to some of his other releases.

Sufjan Stevens – Aporia (2020)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 42:16 minutes | 429 MB | Genre: New age
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Asthmatic Kitty
Aporia is a New Age album from Sufjan Stevens and his step-father and record label co-owner, Lowell Brams. In the spirit of the New Age composers who sanded off the edges of their synths’ sawtooth waves, Aporia approximates a rich soundtrack from an imagined sci-fi epic brimming with moody, hooky, gauzy synthesizer soundscapes. The album may suggest the progeny of a John Carpenter, Wendy Carlos, and Mike Oldfield marriage, but it stands apart from these touchstones and generates a meditative universe all its own. This is no mere curio in the Sufjan Stevens catalog – but a fully realized collaborative musical piece.
