The two latest releases on our Laser's Edge label are now available:
LE 1044 A Triggering Myth "The Remedy Of Abstraction"
After the release of their groundbreaking fifth album, "Forgiving Eden," the instrumental rock duo of A Triggering Myth had only one direction to go -- expand the group concept even further. Once again, noted guitarist Scott McGill and drummer Vic Stevens were asked to contribute to the band's sixth album. World renowned bassist Michael Manring came aboard, fully integrating the three members of McGill Manring Stevens into the mix. Band founders Rick Eddy and Tim Drumheller wanted to add some additional sonic textures, so they made contact with violinist Akihisa Tsuboy of the Japanese fusion band KBB. He graciously agreed to contribute as a guest offering up two smoking hot solo spots. Once again A Triggering Myth continue to evolve and push the boundaries of progressive music. Recommended to fans of Soft Machine, National Health, and Happy the Man. "The Remedy of Abstraction" arrives in a beautiful digipak featuring artwork and graphic design by the award winning Travis Smith.
LE 1045 Secret Oyster "Sea Son"
The Laser's Edge is pleased to release, for the first time on CD, the second album from the legendary Danish progressive jazz-rock supergroup Secret Oyster. "Sea Son" was originally released in 1974 on CBS and is now considered by many to be the pinnacle of the band's catalog. The fiery interplay between alto/soprano sax player Karsten Vogel, guitarist Claus Bohling and keyboardist Kenneth Knudsen parallel the work of their contemporaries Return to Forever and Mahavishnu Orchestra. With a new rhythm section of bassist Jess Staehr (Burnin Red Ivanhoe) and drummer Ole Streenberg (Coronarias Dans) the band found equal footing in the world of rock and jazz. The track "Mind Movie" offers nine minutes of pure psychedelic guitar driven fury from Bohling. In counterpoint a string quartet appears on "Painforest" presenting a mellower side to the band. Perhaps it's the constant tension between the rock and jazz genres and the band's ability to blend both seamless that is the reason for their success.
With the co-operation of the band, Sea Son features 3 previously unreleased bonus tracks and new liner notes from Karsten Vogel. Noted mastering engineer Bob Katz revitalized the original master tapes.
