First piece starts off rather turgidly - drums a bit too upfront and slightly distorted. The groove breaks down about halfway in, starts to get a bit more interesting.

More of the same jam in track 2, but it's come more into its own - nice use of bells, bassline a bit more solid now.

Track 3: the jam has come to maturity - a chunk of this ended up on one of the COTD compilations (no. 6, I think)

Track 5 is from a new jam. The saz is involved now. A bit too 'busy' for a while, but gets into a lovely flow.

Track 6 is certainly the centrepiece here. A little way in, the saz lines, wah-wah guitar and loose groove feel like we're properly in COTD world - then come the little wafts of feedback and the whole thing warps out very nicely.

Track 7 is something rather different - walking bassline - doesn't quite gel tho'.

Nice flute vibes in track 8, going into an amorphous jam with heavy percussion. Last piece carries on in a similar spirit.

Really this session should have been edited down to about half of what's here. A lot of marginal stuff, but 4 stars for the good bits (mostly track 6).

[The murky distored sound may be due to 128 MP3 bitrate - later COTD session uploads were done as 192s]
