 | | Description: | Reissued 2015 album of the legendary Porcupine Tree, King Crimson and The Pineapple Thief drummer Gavin Harrison. Boasting performances from some of the Worldâ??s best contemporary Jazz players, Porcupine Tree classics such as â??Heart Attack In A Laybyâ?? and â??Hatesongâ?? take on a new life in striking arrangements by Laurence Cottle (ex Bill Brufordâ??s Earthworks & Alan Parsons Project) and co-produced with Gavin Harrison. - =SOLO ALBUM FOR PORCUPINE TREE/KING CRIMSON DRUMMER=Gavin Harrison, drummer with British Prog innovators Porcupine Tree, currently working with King Crimson, and a musician whose playing and performing résumé includes stints with artists as varied as Iggy Pop, Lewis Taylor, Manfred Mann and Kevin Ayers, is to release a brand new solo album, entitled Cheating The Polygraph. Cheating The Polygraph is an ambitious project which sees the restlessly creative Harrison re-imagine eight songs from the acclaimed Porcupine Tree repertoire, in a set of vivid and vibrant new arrangements that give full, free rein to his enquiring musical mind. The eight tracks which comprise the album were recorded over a five-year period, with Harrison working in conjunction with a crew of some of the finest contemporary musicians, including the gifted saxophonist Nigel Hitchcock and bass player Laurence Cottle. It's a set that will no doubt excite much controversy; Harrison use of the 'Big Band' musical sound stage isn't some ersatz attempt to make a 'Swing' album; it's closer in execution and arrangement to the innovative works of Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention, a layered, richly-textured selection that is both beautifully-recorded and incisively delivered."Cheating The Polygraph" is an ambitious LP by renowned drummer and composer Gavin Harrison, released via the progressive label KSCOPE. On this album, Harrison reimagines and rearranges a selection of Porcupine Tree compositions for a powerful, cinematic jazz-influenced ensemble, with expansive brass and woodwind orchestrations. Instead of straightforward rock interpretations, the tracks are broken down and rebuilt with complex rhythmic structures, rich harmonies and an almost soundtrack-like atmosphere, giving familiar themes a completely new emotional depth. The LP format underlines the album's organic, dynamic flow, inviting listeners to experience the record as a cohesive journey rather than a loose collection of songs.
Musically, "Cheating The Polygraph" navigates between progressive rock, modern jazz and contemporary classical influences. Polyrhythms, shifting time signatures and intricate drum arrangements are blended with lush horn sections and subtle electronic elements, resulting in a sophisticated and immersive listening experience. The production is detailed and spacious, highlighting both the virtuosity of the musicians and the nuance of the arrangements. This is a record aimed at listeners who appreciate technical excellence as much as musical storytelling.
