About: At the Center

An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

At the Center is an album by Meat Beat Manifesto, released in 2005 as part of the "Blue Series" of Thirsty Ear records fusing jazz with electronica. Jazz elements had been featured in occasional Meat Beat Manifesto songs over the years, but At the Center is the first outright jazz album in the group's catalog, with bandleader Jack Dangers' collaborators being a trio of prominent jazz players. The album is mostly funk- and fusion-oriented, with a few abstract or free-jazz leaning songs. It consists of instrumentals but has some scattered vocal samples, notably on two songs featuring vintage recordings of poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti reading newspaper classified advertisements (the album's notes misidentify Ferlinghetti as Kenneth Rexroth).

  • At the Center è un album di Meat Beat Manifesto, pubblicato nel 2005 come parte della "Blue Series" degli album dell'etichetta che fonde il jazz con l'elettronica. Nel corso degli anni, gli elementi del jazz erano stati presenti nelle occasionali canzoni di Meat Beat Manifesto. Ma At the Center è il primo vero album jazz nel catalogo Meat Beat Manifesto, con i collaboratori del band leader Jack Dangers che sono un trio di importanti musicisti jazz. L'album è per lo più funky e fusion-oriented, con alcune canzoni di musica astratta o free jazz. Completamente strumentale, oltre ai campioni vocali sparsi, in particolare su due brani con registrazioni vintage del poeta Lawrence Ferlinghetti che leggono annunci pubblicitari di giornali (le note dell'album identificano erroneamente Ferlinghetti come Kenneth Rexroth). At the Center ha ottenuto recensioni per lo più positive da parte di critici del jazz e della musica elettronica, tuttavia Dangers ha deciso di non continuare la sua esplorazione del jazz nei successivi album di Meat Beat Manifesto.
