{"product_id":"meridiem","title":"Meridiem","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe polymath bassist\/producer Bill Laswell has worked with an awesome range of performers active in different genres as part of a quest to perpetually bush the boundaries; on this adventurous set, recorded at his Orange Music studio in New Jersey, Laswell’s irregular bass is joined by the veteran British avant-garde guitarist, Fred Frith, former This Heat drummer Charles Haywood, and former Nûs front-man, Percy Howard, for a shape-shifting excursion that skates the edges of experimental rock and free-form jazz. The excesses of “Frozen” build on crescendos of cascading musical energy as Howard aims his voice ever higher; the strangely-named “Iurodivii” is a slow-jam contrast with intricate guitar picking from Frith, subdued cymbals from Haywood and semi-tone jazz bass from Lasweel. Released in 1998 on the Italian experimental label Materiali Sonori, this first Meridiem experiment was a beautifully challenging beginning to a lasting project with many other tricks up its sleeve, as revealed by the sporadic series of further releases issued during the new millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tiger Bay","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50916595335499,"sku":"1107791","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/fc163f64-fe3b-4409-a907-94b28fc46480_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1733050873","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/meridiem","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
