A highly orginal orchestra using a variety of musical instruments.
This is pure enjoyable improvisation from a group that probably could
manage to make good sound of almost all items they find, it's probably
just the imagination that sets the boundary.
A very recommendable piece of improvisation.

Gas Tank Orchestra is loaded with unusual sounds that you might not use every day. Nevertheless, you'd be surprised at the number of times you will want to use them. Hip-Hop artists should appreciate the unusual sounds, wide variety of drum loops and drum hits, and some of the more unusual bass lines. Other artists may find that the different instrumental loops and notes add just the right spice to more conventional arrangements. It's also possible to create entire pieces of music using nothing but the loops and hits contained in this collection. Wildes includes several excellent examples in Acid song format of arrangements that he made using nothing but these sounds. I was also able to quickly create an arrangement in Acid using just these sounds. In short, this collection is a lot of fun. That's part of its charm

Gas Tank Orchestra takes things in an impossibly different direction: Straight to the junkyard, in a very good way. Performed by the New Orleans-based ensemble of the same name, this is a collection of sounds produced from found items (gas tanks, brake drums, hoses, etc.) which were then struck, bowed, brushed or blown into by this wacky group of musicians. The results are a creepy, creaky and clangy netherworld that lies somewhere between eastern ethnicity and a Tom Waits record. If you've been looking to "global" music collections for new harmonic textures, but feel hemmed in by the stylistically identifiable elements, this may be just what you've been looking for.
