about

Atomic Research In The Quiet Bunker (IL4) Recorded 4/25/93

(HS) "Atomic" is another holdover from the Dog Neutral songbook. Greg and I always enjoyed playing it because its light, jazzy feel provided a nice change of pace from the harder-edged material that made up the majority of Jugalbandi's repertoire, and because it provided a blueprint for improvisation in a different direction. Subsequent versions of "Atomic" featured a double-drums passage, but the version here remains the definitive guitar/drums performance. Greg uses his digital delay to great effect (sorry, I couldn't resist the pun) at several different times during the piece.

(GS) "Atomic" has always left the door open for me to work out in an effects-free sound, at least for part of the time. That's liberating too, believe it or not, and has the added bonus of shutting up people who view the effects as a crutch. On this version though, I couldn't have cared less, and so I did whatever I felt like. My feeling then, as now, was, "keep it interesting", it's the ultimate goal. This was also always a great opportunity for Hyam to break out the brushes. That was fun to work with. I don't think the percentage of drummers out there who actually know how to use them is very high, but he's among them. It's a very wonderful, textured sound that benefits greatly from our limited instrumentation: subtleties are much more audible.
