Philadelphia RIBBON EFFECT | ep98 (False Walls) ep98's four tracks are this Chicago trio's earliest recordings. The group's spare, sculpted improvs maintain a degree of intensity and focus due in large part to Bill Talsma's energetic drumming. It's striking to hear his fired-up stick work play against the group's simple accordian and electric-guitar parts. Keyboards and electronic shadings flesh out Ribbon Effect's instrumental sound; stately tempos and the squeezebox's reedy tone at times imbue this 29-minute EP with a vaguely folk-like quality. The third track comes off as little more than an amorphous sketch, but the other pieces work just fine as unaffected experimental slow jams. - Fred Cisterna
