I (and many others) found P2, while interesting, to be the lesser of the bunch, being the first one, they just didn't seem to have everything quite worked out. The Club disc they released from a late show is really good and shows a lot of progress, however, but I still enjoy the other three ProjeKcts a lot more. It's mostly Belew's spazzy drumming that bothers me the most with P2 - he'd just gotten his V-Drums and hadn't really gotten much time to explore what they could do, so he went with standard settings that really grated on my nerves after a while (especially the one that played a changing bass note after each kick drum hit - but only three notes or so, so with pieces of the length that these guys typically play, that can get old real quick.) P1 is a breath of fresh air after that! ]]> 420681@blogcritics.org Fri, 4 Aug 2006 09:09:33 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/08/04/030354.php#comment-420668 great writeup tom. dang, i've looked over the dgm site many times but haven't picked up anything yet...mostly because there's so much there that i just don't know where to begin. but now i just might start with that Projekt 3 recording. a lot different from Projekt 2? i saw them live (Gunn/Belew/Fripp) and they were fantastic. also, that Projetk One with Bruford sounds mightly interesting. ]]> 420668@blogcritics.org Fri, 4 Aug 2006 08:29:43 EDT
