Label: Matchless Recordings

2人組のAMM体制になってからの3度目の録音!!2005年2月にイースト・アングリア大学音楽学部にてEddie Prevost & John Tilburyが披露、並外れた音響操作にて重要な位置を担っていた主要メンバーKeith Roweが脱退し2人組となった後に出版されたアルバム[Norwich]。静寂でありながらも現行のスタイルよりもハードで鉱物的、しかし繊細な音のグラデーション演奏も成功している非常に優れたライブ音源。



Norwich, recorded in February, 2005, at the School of Music, University of East Anglia, presents the current two-member AMM of Prévost and Tilbury ” the third two-man version of the group (Prévost played as AMM with saxophonist Lou Gare and then Rowe in the 1970s). Rowe's departure is a tremendous shift, of course, both for his extraordinary sonic resourcefulness and his sometimes abrasive electronics (including his use of random or found verbal and musical messages). However, it is much more important to dwell on what the new AMM is. Norwich achieves an extraordinary tranquility, a gradual sense of calm unfolding and subtle isolated sounds, a spaciousness that may suggest George Crumb's Night Music or the quiet dynamism of Feldman's although, as improvisers, Prévost and Tilbury take the processes of subtle gradation much further. - Stuart Broomer, Music Works
