Review

MK. Orchestrin presents the best of the recent batch. This is presented in a weird sleeve featuring unique use of Velcro buttons! It’s by one Mirko Sabatini, an obscure unknown drummer aka MK. Orchestrin, titled -28+ALIEN! (AM 080 CD) and it’s pretty much the type of thing we’d have expected if Chris Cutler had done a fragmented series of drum excursions in the Art Bears days, making use of motors, plates, springs, rubber bands and the likes, it amounts to that scrap-yard drum-set sound, teetering on the edge of the avant-garde yet never falling over.
