Residing within the earth are the
Gnomes, pure intellect, receiving the ideas of the cosmos. Repulsed by the earth and the logic of humans, they nevertheless remain to avoid the threat of becoming amphibians. In concert with gravity, their energy directs the seed and the ideal form of the plant upward, out of the earth, where it is received by
Undines, who live in the realm where moisture meets the air, they swim about the emerging plant and encourage it to sprout, all the while avoiding becoming a fish. As the sprout grows upward, it leaves this realm and emerges into the air and light.
Sylphs, who are energized by the flight of birds, live in the air and infuse the plant with light, creating the archetypal form of the plant.
Salamanders, or fire spirits, follow the flights of insects, tracing them to the flower, and imbuing the forming seed with warmth.
RADIATION/IDEAS
Gnomes / extraterrestrial, convey minerals to roots
Undines / dream state / chemists bind necessary chemicals through water
Sylphs / love / music of spheres
bird song / vibration
Salamanders / Fill the airship of pollen with warmth / help plant decay and transmit its ideal form back to earth / Gnomes who hold it through winter.

Ambitious, rich and full of nutritional goodness. As is a constant with any project avant-prog avatar Dave Newhouse is involved in, ZAP! mixes textures, tempos, rhythms, colors and melodies to fantastic effect. Like a rich dream you don’t want to wake up from. And you really shouldn't.

Black Steeple Church

At first blush this is darker than I normally gravitate to, yet I quickly found it not only compelling, but, ultimately (and strangely satisfyingly) very relatable. Hard/metal moments here never feel gratuitous, they serve each song's context. And the more melodic passages provide ample relief, creating a sort of enforced fugue state for contemplative balance. Like some of my favorite heavy bands from the classic era (Iron Butterfly, Cream) there is both sludge and beauty to be had here. 🤘🪨

The mallet percussionist and improviser's solo debut is flush with nostalgic melodies and stirring dissonances—a rich, experimental universe well worth exploring.

Can't believe this album is in so few collections here on bandcamp. One of the greatest fusion albums i've heard! (also the other albums of Yo Miles!)
