Stone the Devil: Shining


Stone the Devil, after a hiatus, rockets up to #12 in Jazz Overall on Soundclick. A note, also, about issues attendant on the singles released from Acid Dropping and Mixter Riders. Remember Ornette Coleman? Like Coleman's early work, these singles bother to question musical boundaries which have been taken for granted for decades, and replace them with new landscapes. Specifically, as regards where and how electronic music can be (rightfully) jazz and jazz can (rightfully) be electronic. Thus, the phenomenon of singles split between jazz and electronic national charts, and successful on both. Not to mention another revolution attendant on the poetry thrown in.
