Bobby Rausch - My Third Journey Through A Dark Land
“My Third Journey Through A Dark Land” is a noteworthy work from the debut album of Berlin jazz druids Bobby Rausch.
The bass clarinet, baritone saxophone and drums become one sonic shepherd's crook, directing strength and energy into this monolithic and exciting sound mystery. Trance climbing higher and higher. This is Melvins’ music, if they were a brass band covering chopped & screwed remixes on Roscoe Mitchell with a flask of brew teleported from the Hyborian Age. By the third minute, there is a growing understanding that Bobby Rausch is blowing these sacred notes of exceptional timbre, as if urging heavens to speak. It’s the resonance that shook the long dream of the old god Hadad. It seems that Bobby Rausch dragged us into the mighty and affecting musical quintessence.
