Richard's On Richards Vancouver United States
After travelling from Boulder and grabbing a bit of RnR time, the team took to the stage in front of a capacity crowd at Richards on Richards. The third gig by the band involves an initial amount of uncertainty in the early stages, yet they soon get into their stride. Around the 17 minute mark of this continuous first set Trey and Robert go into the Sus-Tayn-Z theme, which in turn leads to a spacious and indeed spacey solo fluttering above Robert’s melancholic orchestral voices. This section alone is worth the price of admission. Oh and listen out for a surprise guest appearance from Ade.
The second set begins with Robert “on the decks” as it were, dialing up On Acceptance from That Which Passes (and others) and then layering it with live soundscapes before morphing into Seizure. Though Tony struggles to find the right tempo, once the crew lock into the groove this little hummer really starts rattling the cutlery. Possibly not as righteously groovesome as the previous performance in Boulder but until that one appears online this'll do to keep the pulse moving along. Oh and this Hindu Fizz is the biz! As I noted at the time “This is extraordinary stuff for sure - very exciting and thrilling. Pat is pushing the others into unknown territory with this blend of live-time and programmed playing.”

A unique set for a unique band
With only 7 concerts, you would think that there wouldn't be much variance in P4's sets in terms of structure but this gig stands alone amongst the others for a number of reasons. The most obvious is the unbroken first set that, while it does include some common motifs, approaches them quite differently to other shows with a lot more space in between (the "alternate Deception" around the 20 minute mark that utilises Belew's spoken word from Thela Hun Ginjeet is a particularly evocative moment). ...

Truly Bizarre
This show is so unlike the rest of the ProjeKcts stuff. It’s nice to see the band switching it up every single night, and not just hitting us with the same thing over and over again. To get every show off this tour would be a treat. It’s so cool that the first set is totally uninterrupted (I can really only think of one place to cut it (The part where the jam kind of ends and then Pat starts with an entirely new beat),but what’s the point). This band just went wherever they felt like it an...

One of the Best
I can’t remember the last time I’ve enjoyed listening to a new album as much as I enjoyed the new P4 download last night.The first set is 36+ minutes of seamless playing combining true improv with some familiar themes.  The second set begins with a 12 minute soundscape.  Robert does some incredible shifts in mood.  At the end, the others join in and slowly transition into the killer final set.It doesn’t matter how many ProjeKcts you have--in fact, the more you have, the m...
