DK3 - Neutrons

[claude]

Picked this up yesterday on whim, basically because Ken Vandermark was involved. Not familar with the other two (Duane Denison (guitar & bass) and James Kimball (drums & aquaharp?))

I've only listened to it a couple of times so I can't really give a review. Also, since this is an old one I'm sure it was reviewed back in 97 when it was released.

My initial impressions are that there is some really good playing from KV (as expected based on my recent first exposure to him with the V5). I wasn't so sure about the percussions on the first track, but subsequent tracks got better. More of a personal taste thing, it just sounded a little too "industrial" for me.

Regarding the drummer, they also list him as playing something called an aquaharp. I may be showing my inexperience here, but what the hell is that?

Anyway, any other opinions on this one.
