No Surprises\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeedback Moves returns with a vinyl reissue of Pat Thomas’ New Jazz Jungle: Remembering. The album was originally released on CD in 1997, at a time when Pat had already spent years playing on the free improvisation circuit with the likes of Lol Coxhill and Derek Bailey. Thomas is largely known as a jazz and improvising pianist, but can be heard using electronics as far back as 1989 on an electro acoustic work called Monads and on the Bailey-led Company ’91 recordings. Thomas identified jungle’s weirdness and intensity and saw a space open for his own interpretation, on New Jazz Jungle: Remembering he utilises his classical training and knowledge of the tonal systems used by 20th century composer’s Schoenberg and Webern, and fuses that with his earlier experiences using electronics, keyboards \u0026amp; sampling techniques. What we end up with is 10 tracks of bass heavy jungle breaks, which are intersected with vocal and orchestral samples, and layers of percussion rotating at varying time signatures. It’s in this fashion that the album seems to present itself: in layers. Layers of samples, keyboards and FX, deployed at varying speeds, never losing their intensity. The re-issue of this lost classic comes at a time when Thomas continues to go from strength to strength, having recently released various solo and collaborative works with a wide range of musicians and projects such as Matana Roberts, Elaine Mitchener, حمد [Ahmed], Black Top, XT and many more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Wire magazine ran a piece with Pat Thomas to coincide with the announcement of the record:https:\/\/www.thewire.co.uk\/audio\/tracks\/klangfarbenmelodie-in-the-dancehall-pat-thomas-s-junglist-selection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe Jazz Records have printed an early review of the LP in the summer issue of their magazine The Call:https:\/\/wejazzrecords.bandcamp.com\/merch\/we-jazz-magazine-summer-2022-the-call\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe record is due to be review by The Wire, The Quietus \u0026amp; more and to be played by BBC Late Junction and other radio outlets.
