I uploaded this treat for you all..
rich woodson's ellipsis - the nail that stands up, gets hammered down

(60mb)
Simply put, the most challenging, uncompromising, insane, ridiculous, complex, and MUSICAL album I've probably ever heard. Made with nothing but acoustic instruments, it took 3 years to write these 40+ minutes, and not a single bit is improvised. Sounds like the most complex Harry Partch works being covered by an avant-progressive ensemble who decided to play jazz for this evening. If you're the least bit interested in avant-prog, modern classical, free jazz, or you just want to hear a band that makes RUINS sound like easy-listening, give this a shit. I'll upload the other album later.

"...writing tightened all the way down to the last belt-hole—ultra-meticulous, intensely obsessional, and reliably maniacal." - Stephanie Fourger
"...a true Art, striking for its freshness and depth alike ...." - Progressor, progressive rock zine
"
A 40-minute orgy of beautiful dissonance! ....an absorbing, lively, but challenging piece of music." - Lord chimp
"Woodson’s autonomous approach to jazz dwells within a world of its own ....certainly one to watch!" - Glenn Astrita
