2018 Reissue (1k012)

Conceived by producers, Tim Motzer (Nine Horses/Ursula Rucker) and Enrico Marani, Secret Voices combines epic compositions, potent improvisations and mesmeric wordplay from a unique collective of poets and musicians. An ambitious collision of ambient, dub, classical, free jazz, and electronics, laced with Motzer's trademark guitar feedback and loops, Secret Voices also features the sublime poetry of Ursula Rucker (4 Hero), Rich Medina, Elliott Levin (Cecil Taylor), Kalaf Angelo and Adriano Englebrecht. Musicians Barry Meehan, Jeremy Carlstedt and Gloria Justen all make powerful contributions to Motzer and Marani's compelling and culturally eclectic dark cinematic vision.

review:
Featuring Ursula Rucker, Rich Medina, Elliott Levin (plus flutes & saxes) & Kalaf Angelo all on voices plus Tim Motzer on guitars, Barry Meehan on bass, Enrico Marani on electronics, Jeremy Carlstedt on drums and others. I've known Philly legend Elliott Levin for nearly forty years and continue to be amazed by his diverse talents. Mr. Levin is a
great saxist (tenor & soprano), flutist, poet & performer who has
played in New Ghost, Interplay, Taka-Iki and shows up to jam more
than any other local musician except for perhaps Daniel Carter.
Generally anything Elliott is involved in is worth checking out.
'Secret Voices' features Mr. Levin's voice, sax & flute as well
as a few other Philly-based poets/vocalists and musicians with whom I
was not yet familiar. The results are consistently enchanting,
illuminating and fascinating. The different voices are used
selectively, well-woven within the spacious, hypnotic music and sly
grooves. Each of the four long pieces features a different voice or
small group of voices. The first voice is someone named Adriano
Engelbrecht who speaks in Italian (?) and plays strings. I found this
entire hour-long+ disc to be consistently mesmerizing. - Bruce Lee

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
