HIROSHIMA YEAH!, Issue 33, November 2007
REALLY LONG SONGS! Don’t ya just LOVE ‘em?! “Sister Ray” by the Velvets, “Cortez the Killer” by Neil Young, “Grendel” by Marillion (no, SERIOUSLY! That one’s BRILLIANT too!) This new CD-R release by Yanky popsters 9 On Bali (this time around comprising the three Dans, Susnara, Sweigert and Van Schindel, alongside Pat Hamilton, Jim Molina and “special guest” Jah Lowman on congas) is a single 26 MINUTE LONG track which sounds a bit like an outtake from one of Genesis’ early albums. It’s tough, tender and sonically adventurous as it wends its way from gentle ripples of piano to cathartic bursts of orchestration and guitar, sweet harmonies floating over the top of it all like mist on a frozen lake at dawn. The ambient section that comes in at around the 10-minute mark is LOVELY, bringing to mind John Martyn’s sublime “Small Hours”, no less. Prog-tastic!
