There is presently nothing out there to match the power of
Redshift. Starting from the groundbreaking "Phaedra", their
music traces an unbroken line across 25 years of innovative
spacemusic. The live album LAST (65'44") contains all the mad
poetry and quiet drama one has come to expect from this
group's endeavors. From space-eating atonal sound collage to
excruciatingly intricate sequencer manipulations, there is
nowhere for the listener to hide in this music. Founding member
Mark Shreeve provides the power and direction. His hands-on,
on-the-fly, in-the-moment approach to performance runs
opposite to the safe digital concerts of the laptop generation. His
music really breathes, and sometimes pants, as the musicians
meld together into a potent sonic force - which is at the
foundation of this mode of expression. With faithfulness to the
soul, form, content and passion of the original, Redshift is
extending beyond the vision of its inspirators.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from Redshift
and the new CD LAST
