last and least
Three new albums from Omar Rodriguez Lopez
The Miles Davis of contemporary Post-Punker-Jazz-Prog finally comes up dry with three rather unadventurous and (to my ears) dreary electronica albums. A recent interview has him claiming that he wants to be more collaborative with his bandmates rather than dictatorial. No wonder listening to these three. It sounds like he needs the spark / help. Then again 30 albums into his short solo career he was due a bad patch.
