LIFT TO EXPERIENCE
"THE TEXAS JERUSALEM CROSSROADS"

 

Then Here: Jean-Jacques fell on a distracting disc that it metaphor at his place more often than in his turn. It liked it so much that it asks me to write above. Not frankly, it is that that is worth the blow. At the beginning I was afraid. And if it me refile a disc of Pleymo, what will I well be able to say, me? Especially that I had decided speech of "Rainbow Bridge Concert" of Jimi Hendrix, gift of the sky of Hawaii which had come to illuminate our Christmas. With Mitch Mitchell behind the barrels and Billy Cox with low, Jimi gave two vibrating shows this 30 July 1970.

Full of electricity controlled and close to purest frenzy, its guitar ignites the two discs and this in spite of a its means (enough deaf) and a disgusting small pocket whose even Prince would not like. Completely new, these recordings reinvigorate more surely than the last trick à.la.mode and, like usuelly, the guitar of Jimi puts fire and is shown more circling and most expressive that it was given to hear. Then good, Jean-Jacques refile me the disc and it is not little to say that I was being wary. I had already heard this group in a buddy and it had however left me a good impression. But good: Hendrix, nevertheless, shit! Top spin To Experience. It is the name of the group. Double CD On the small pocket, they is three and plunge us from the start in an environment white trash to return jealous Harry Crews. And then they have mugs which make resemble Motörhead Bon Jovi and thus consequently, that seems well left all the same. Especially that trios, that cheating not. it passes or that breaks. One puts the disc and one finds oneself embarked in a long voyage, the pieces of the album forming like a continuation being connected without clash, variation on the same topic. Direction universe rather inhabited of Josh Pearson, the leader of the combo.

  Inhabited bus around a quite smoky concept based on apocalypse, of last judgement, promised ground and redemption, the whole proceeding in Texas, Pearson outputs its biblical texts as a preacher who would thus have seen God and would have gone back from there, not decided to spread the fine words and to convert. This disc sounds like a long sermon, a mystical rock'n'roll with two fingers of the extase, voice of fallen angel evoking Buckley father and wire but without technical demonstration.  

It comes more of the bottom from the heart and the tripe, convinced that is our man of the truth of his message. With dealings Velvet Underground and, precisely, the Experiment of Jimi Hendrix, art of the trio rock'n'roll carried to its paroxysm, Lift To Experience joined these large tormented with the single and torn vision which were Jeffrey Lee Pierce with its Gun Club and Nick Cave. The whole evokes also furiously My Bloody Valentine by her unclassable final sound energy. All that could appear well dated but the group plays as it breathes, concerned, implied, and the disc sounds extremely and timeless, double album with old and not
2. 30 min of mechanical boom boom.

 
That given even pleasure to hear in these times of robotized products guaranteed without task and formatted shameless. Here are people who create, which plays that of which they want and who do not seem to want to make the least concession with the businesses. For a little, "The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads" would give again the faith. Discs of this quality, one in redemande.
   

By supposing that they also extremely make for the next one, even still better, I suggest that a Domenica Tarlé joins them during the recording to leave us then, 30 years afterwards, a splendid book of evangelic photographs, icons in black and white immortalisant these moments that one guesses intense. And in this case, Lift To Experience will be able to enter the history. Let us cross the fingers, it will be always that in fact, poor atheists who we are. To tell the truth, this disc made me become agnostic. Faith for the next one? Whore, Jean-Jacques, exaggerate you,
me refiler similar discs which involve you illico with the church.... Top spin To Experience: a true revelation. Amen. Ben Kennedy.
