2021 repress forthcoming in Feb.... Otoroku presents a reissue of
Evan Parker
's
The Snake Decides
, originally released in 1986. One of the final Incus releases and one that was written up in
The Penguin Guide to Jazz
as an essential document of modern music, Otoroku releases it as a first ever vinyl re-issue. Featuring four solos recorded in 1986 in St. Paul's Church, Oxford by the late
Michael Gerzon
,
The Snake Decides
is a groundbreaking example how far the language of a particular instrument can be taken. From
Brian Morton
's new liner notes: "The Snake Decides
attracts a certain array of adjectives: intense, radical, fearsome, hypnotic, virtuosic, and occasionally allows a more ambitious reviewer to avoid platitude by talking more specifically about 32nd harmonics, circular breathing, multiphonics and Gerson's exact choice and placement of microphones. But this misses a point, too. Listening to this record, either for the first or the fortieth time, is an arousing experience
." Remastered by
Giuseppe Ielasi
and housed in a reverse board sleeve, this is the ultimate document of one of the most important recordings in all Parker's extensive and exploratory catalog. Edition of 500.
