Studio/Live: Studio Mono/Stereo: Stereo Track List X29 Staple Nex Broken Toenail Gland Cyclops White Ark Iron Cross Conquer Worm Lightning Teleportation Album Remarks & Appraisals: "This CD has sounds, gadgets, rap / spoken and sometimes, unspoken words that seems to take prescient over music at times. Computer programming loops, dubs, and effects are all tools that one can used to make or enhance music. The downside is too much of this can sound too studio. The over use of these tools is evident on this CD. The producer and / or engineer either feel asleep or thought he was doing this project for a film score. I want to believe it was the latter. I don't really get to here the true musicianship of the players. Cohesiveness is almost non existent. Nevertheless, "Points of order" has its place. The syncopated feel of the drums played by Karsh Kale, the solid bass lines delivered by Bill Laswell to the Miles influenced trumpet done by Toshinori Kondo and Graham Haynes had me nostalgic for an evening at the Fillmore west. After playing the CD two or three times, I realized it has some nice cuts on it. Now, I not sure I would want to pay to hear this in concert or attempt to have a romantic evening with this playing in the background, but, I could dig this oozing out a nice sound system at a coffee house or even just chillin at the crib with a few friends. The music can grows on you, so if you're a fusion jazz aficionado you may want to put on Weather Reports Mr.Gone or some electric Miles from the 70s to get yourself in the mood. All in all, at a time when we are bombarded with smooth jazz that runs the gamut from Acoustic Alchemy to Phil Collins, Points of Order is a pleasant change." -JazzReview Album Reviews: Alternative Press (3/02, p.82) - 7 out of 10 - "...More quality eclectic electronica..."

Recording information: Orange Music, West Orange, NJ. The first solo record for his new Innerhythmic imprint, the avant-groove Points of Order recording finds the ever-collaborative Bill Laswell inviting stellar musicians into his formidable company for this fall 2001 release. Beginning with a representative Laswellian "period" drum'n'bass spy movie piece, hip-hop leftists Anti-Pop Consortium vocalize over "Staple Nex" and "Broken Toenail Gland," and find an ideal landscape for their acclaimed intellectual spoken words and raps. Lying imbedded among the explorations of trumpet players Graham Haynes and Toshinori Kondo (William Parker, United Future Organization), Beans, Priest, and M. Sayyid's words roll off the tongue with tremendous astuteness lubricating their delivery. ("Now tell the androids what it means to use reason, confuse seasons, abuse needles to make beats, my large intestine is a breakbeat!") But as coyly as they enter, the two songs featuring vocals seep back into instrumental big beat jazz, emulating a kind of enhanced 1968 Miles feel with updated beats and bass that embody all of Laswell's signature deep pocket. Also present on the recording is German-born pianist Karl Berger (Lee Konitz, Sly Dunbar), percussionist Aiyb Dieng (Umar Bin Hassan, Herbie Hancock), and drummer Karsh Kale. Overall this is a cherishable solo recording of tremendous beauty and intelligence, filled with progressive sounds so nurtured they sound like they've been mounting for centuries. ~ Nic Kincaid |
