ALBUM REVIEW
Bassist/composer Hugh has been involved in many projects during his more than 30 years in music. 1984, originally released in 1973, & his first solo release, remains perhaps his most singular. This combines Hugh's unique fuzz bass & compostions with tapework, multiple overdubs, & a very avant esthetic & then contrasts those works with short, weirdly devolved James Brown-inspired pieces. This is the DEFINITIVE CD edition, taken from the original master tapes, including a never heard bonus track from the original sessions, as well as new notes by Hugh that tell the story of 1984.
