Gluk by Sunburned Hand of the Man

from Mathieu Duval's 'My Record Collection' website:
'Surprisingly enough, Gluk sounds nothing like any of it's sister releases (Glik & Glak). Is it any wonder why they chose to redo the cover to When The Shit Hits The Jazz? Most of the work has one foot squarely planted in the whole free jazz scene. The whole album could easily pass off as this long lost recording by Sun Ra & His Arkestra. You know those twisted home recordings where one could hear the phone in the background? I'm not used to Sunburned sounding so clearly planted in one sound throughout a record. Gluk includes everything you might expect from an old free jazz skronk fest: hyper active percussion, the occasional outburst of brass instruments like an angry dog, a chiming bell here and there or trickling piano notes to sooth the soul, tribal chanting and long passages of almost complete silence. Don't know if the band released this just to show they could actually pull it off, but the results are quite interesting and different.'
