Notes

Additional info from their bandcamp page:

"Ballroom Dance is Dead was started in the fall of 2006 by New Orleans producer and bassist Grant W. Curry (Pleasure Club, PW Long) and Brooklyn-based guitarist/composer Lynn Wright (Bee and Flower,And The Wiremen) to explore the collision of Eno-inspired minimalism, trance, and the spirit of Sonny Sharrock. The first in a projected series of recordings with a revolving-door cast of drummers and horn players, this eponymous offering (released January 2008) is a collaboration with Drums & Tuba drummer Tony Nozero, featuring percussionist Mike Dillon (Critters Buggin’, Les Claypool).

From the dub-informed opener “Damascus” to the rockist version of Coltrane’s “India” that closes the album, Ballroom Dance is Dead anchor their take on movement-no-changes to Curry’s bass ostinatos, bringing to the fore the ever-shifting accents of Nozero’s drums and Wright’s patient build from subtle melodicism to a skronk worthy of his Downtown predecessors."
