Power Tools – Strange Meeting just visited my page and I thought I’d see what they were listening to and I noticed the name Power Tools, hence the following post. Strange Meeting. Longer ago than I like to think. Antilles was a sometimes forward-thinking record label and this was its most interesting release, imo. Appraiser Austin Employee Haynes Software Download.
Power Tools was a trio headed up by retiring axeman of the moment Bill Frissell, the inestimable Ronald Shannon Jackson on drums and sometime Arto Lindsay bassist Melvin Gibbs. I listened to Strange Meeting a lot at the time. As I only have it on vinyl, I put on some Naked City, specifically the creaking, spooky Leng T’che.
I’m going to see whether I’m up to the 31 minute Absinthe when it arrives, I’m still on the radioactive horror of Fleur Du Mal at the moment. And now it’s been sliced open by Artemisia Absinthium Anyway, Power Tools. After a little checking, it seems it’s been long out of print. An Amazon UK reseller is trying to sell a copy at the ridiculous price of £101 Amazon US resellers are trying for around $70 and on eBay a vinyl copy is going for $3.99 with 3 days to go.

In the meantime here’s a fine Naked City track in their death ambient mode PS Can’t help but think that Leng Tch’e prefigures Sunn O))) by a decade and a half and the fact that Frisell was a floppy haired mid-westerner lends the music an extra frisson or three.

S’funny, i never really got the measure of strange meeting – i liked frisell and shannon jackson, but this album didn’t ever click with me. I remember reading a last exit interview where rsj and sonny sharrock slagged off frisell, abercrombie etc and i suspected that maybe shannon’s heart wasn’t in power tools.

The thing for me about Strange Meeting was that Frisell alternately played both melodic and heavy. I was a big fan though and didn’t ever hear RSJ not being into it, at least in the music.

I wonder whether he’ll make a comeback One of my favourite ever gigs was seeing him at I think the Half Moon Theatre in Mile End with my mate Robin.
