about

Recorded live to DAT 5/23/99.

GS: This piece came into existence as an IL1 in 1993, and the result was so pleasing to us both that we knew we had to try it again. We ended up doing three versions in '99, of which this was the first. In my opinion this has the best performance and variations on the opening melody out of all 4 recordings.

HS: The opening motif always feels very calming for me to play, and puts me in a space where I'm clear of preconceptions, something that has helped push all the versions of 'Uncle Sun' we've ever played in unique musical directions. You can hear how this one takes-on a clear direction right from the beginning, and how that direction changes by the end of the third minute. By the time we hit 13:00 we've already covered a lot of ground, and at 14:02 Greg introduces a killer motif that leads us into further adventure. The unison groove that appears at 15:01 is one of those magical happenings that makes hauling a few hundred pounds of drums and recording equipment up three flights of stairs a small price to pay indeed.
