Chicago/London Underground: A Night Walking Through Mirrors

The band Chicago/London Underground is comprised of Rob Mazurek/ct-elec, Chad Taylor/dr-perc-elec, Alexander Hawkins/p and John Edwards/b. These four compositions are performed in concert, ranging from 15-24 minutes,and are filled with free form ideas bouncing off of the walls. Mazurek has his horn slurp, gasp and make other valve effects with jarring drums and bowed bass on “A Night Spent Walking Through Mirrors” followed by Hawkins’ scrambling piano amidst electronic distortions on” Something Must Happen.” A stampede mixed with animal sounds from subtones create an avalanche on “Boss Redux” and the show closes with a thrashing drum feature on “Mysteries of Emanating Light.” Was there a laser show that accompanied this?
