about

“… glides effortless through genres. Whereas the sound occasionally comes close to ECM, at other moments it recalls Tortoise, rustic dub, cocktail jazz – albeit with just enough rhythmic obstinacy to avoid schmaltz – and even various echoes of ethnic music.” (The Wire 2002)

“Secret Rhythms” is the collaboration by Jaki Liebezeit and Nonplace Urban Field alchemist Burnt Friedman, and it’s the kind of record that should make most would-be cyber icons lie down and quietly expire. (…), hidden within the strands of this strange hybrid is, as Friedman himself has said, the seeds of a new kind of jazz. Liebezeit’s signature drum-mantra is etched into the vinyl of the coolest moments of rock history, and the potency of his distinctive style is barely diminished since his legendary moments in the early 70s. But here, instead of Can’s grinding, volcanic energy, we have an utterly gorgeous, beguiling album featuring a plethora of bubbling tonal clusters courtesy of instruments like vibraharps, steel drums and kalimbas.” (Oscillation Nation: Sonic Futures by Gary Steel)
