Saptarshi / Radar

by Secret Chiefs 3

supported by

blox Not so secret any more, but a completely new world for me! Favorite track: Radar (The Day the Earth Stood Still).

Cosmographer Saptarshi is a true banger and one of the most enjoyable and hard-hitting compositions in the Secret Chiefs 3 canon. You also get an awesome version of Herrmann's Radar arranged in a way only Trey Spruance could have imagined. Impossible to go wrong with these guys, they are making some of the best music of our time. Favorite track: Saptarshi.

Vincent Martagex Awesome, one of the bests band in my collection (not only this one). I follow Spurance since Mr Bungle, this guy is really a great "proteiform" composer guitarist and producer Favorite track: Saptarshi.

Triakel Because this is one of the best instrumentals I've heard in years. I dance in place every time it comes up in my home or car queue. Really, SC3 is a find. A wonderful band.
Favorite track: Saptarshi.

John Lithium Even despite their semi-infrequent release schedule, Secret Chiefs 3 continue to amaze and delight.

about

TRACK A: Ishraqiyun "Saptarshi"
In order to face East, one must know how to locate North. On this song, Ishraqiyun nails a facet of their septenary logic to the celestial pole, throwing diatonic sparks into the Cosmos.

TRACK B: FORMS "Radar"
An unassuming but brilliant piece by Bernard Herrmann was hidden in the background during the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still. Originally just piano, vibes and timpani, "Radar" now gets exploded into an uncalled-for over-exposure, via the world's only fully organic, wood & spirit mechanized orchestra, FORMS.

This is so fucking awesome. I've loved bungle for so long for so many reasons. And when I heard about this re-release I had to be peeled off the ceiling. The only way i could be happier is if they re-released Disco Volante as well. That album was pure genius for different reasons. But thats Bungle for you. No two albums sound the same. This release shows how amazingly far ahead of the metal curve they were even waaayyyy back then. Mr. Bungle has influenced so many artists. Long live Mr. Bungle! DeKremp

This album is wonderfully eclectic yet cohesive. Each song is strong on it's own, but taken together the album is much greater than the sum of it's parts. The production is outstanding. The string arrangements are stellar. Valisystem A stands out for sounding so alien and other worldly while also being really catchy, but picking a favorite is really hard on this one. Dolorous Stroke
