| | Peter Brötzmann : Tales Out of Time - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | His own compositions here, which account for over half the album, stress the kind of joint front-line melodies and close harmonics that create inner space in a tune -- just check his two-part "Stone Poem" and his "Anticipation of the Next," dedicated to departed bassists Peter Kowald and Wilbur Morris, for evidence. |
 | | McPhee's trumpet is the perfect complement and the pair sound like Albert and Don Ayler swinging their chariots toward the heavenly gates. |
 | | Likewise, the beautiful art-damaged composition "Pieces of Red, Green, and Blue" (supposedly written about a museum experience he and Brötzmann shared) offers killer honking saxophone phrases that are repeated, striated, warped, turned inside out and back on themselves, and finally exploded into intense and inspired group interplay. |
