This is a remarkable album; it sets a new water mark for Frisell's sense of adventure and taste, and displays his perception of beauty in a pronounced, uncompromising, yet wholly accessible way.
-
Rootsy and undeniable, The Intercontinentals is yet another Frisellian work of genius.
-
BlenderAn album of languid grooves and slowly descending melodies. [#16, p.117]
-
Sometimes it seems almost sleight-of-hand that any music could have so much going on and yet be so spacious.
-
MojoThe result is laidback and chilled. [Apr 2003, p.104]
-
Simultaneously adventurous, beautiful, and full of depth.
-
Every once in a while a drone or pattern emerges, reminding me of what I treasure most in "world music"-- articulated rhythm. Then he gets some tech genie or steel player to throw on another synth substitute and it's back to the miasma.
