Double vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release by the Grammy-winning saxophonist, arranger, composer, bandleader and producer Tragically, this was Bob Belden's last recording - he died of a massive heart attack on May 20 at age 58, just weeks before the final mastering of this chilling opus. But the concept had been long set in place for this recording with his band Animation, featuring guest bassist Bill Laswell. To help Belden realize his futuristic 2001: A Space Odyssey-inspired vision for Machine Language, he enlisted vocalist Kurt Elling as narrator for this cyberpunk opera. "My own memory of any conversations regarding the piece is that there was minimal discussion before making the voice over," said Elling, who had previously appeared on Belden's 1996 project, Shades of Blue. "The only real direction I received was to 'sound like a sad, well-spoken computer.' I did the actual recording by myself at a studio in St Louis, with Belden occasionally commenting via ISDN. I did a cold read once down, without music, and expected Bob to make whatever edits and adjustments he wanted. I was in and out of the studio in an hour." Belden's text for Elling reads like an excerpt from Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, which later became the literary source for the 1982 Ridley Scott movie Blade Runner. And the darkly foreboding music, performed by Pete Claggett on muted trumpet, Roberto Verastegui on electric keyboard, Matt Young on drums, Belden on soprano sax and Laswell on electric bass guitar, takes part of its inspiration from Miles Davis' 32-minute ambient requiem for the recently-deceased Duke Ellington, "He Loved Him Madly" (from 1974's Get Up With It)., Composed By, Arranged By, Sound Designer: Bob Belden, Drums: Matt Young (10), Electric Bass: Bill Laswell, Executive-Producer: Giacomo Bruzzo, Liner Notes: Bill Milkowski, Mastered By: Michael Fossenkemper, Narrator: Kurt Elling, Photography By [Video Projection Still Photos], Design: Petulia Mattioli, Recorded By, Mixed By: James Dellatacoma, Soprano Saxophone, Flute [Electric Alto Flute]: Bob Belden, Synthesizer [Synthesizers]: Roberto Verastegui, Trumpet [Electric Trumpet]: Pete Clagett, Labelcode RRNS55.1 (RNR055LP), Copyright (c) RareNoise Records, Phonographic Copyright (p) RareNoise Records, Published By RareNoise Publishing, Recorded At Orange Music (5), Mastered At Turtle Tone Studios
