Best Anatgarde album 2018, by S. Victor Aron, Something Else !
Jan. 2019

Roberto Maria Zorzi, Michael Manring, Scott Amendola – Facanapa & Umarells and the World Wide Crash:
When legendary experimental guitarist Henry Kaiser writes about a record, that “the two things that I appreciate most about listening to any music is being surprised and hearing things that I have never heard before. That’s what I hear going on here,” then you probably should probably pay close attention to said record. And that record, Facanapa & Umarells and the World Wide Crash by Roberto Maria Zorzi, Michael Manring and Scott Amendola, is indeed as distinctive as Kaiser is making it out to be.

The guitarist from Italy (Zorzi) teamed with the electric bassist (Manring) and drummer (Amendola) from the San Francisco Bay Area to craft a record that harnesses three out-of-the-ordinary musical personalities into a unit that’s collectively dropping surprises at every turn. Consider, as an example, “La Ballata Di Pipetta E Samo,” the ‘ballad’ of the lot: “You’ll never hear such sumptuous, yawning sounds that Michael Manring wrests from an electric bass and Zorzi’s elusive looping effects has his notes playing backwards as well as forward, together. Amendola’s exotic spurts of percussion come in and out of focus to complete the perfect music for some psychedelic rain forest.”

Not to be outdone, Kaiser himself collaborated on an album this year that adds another plum to his outsider legacy. And yes, it’s on the list below.
