Colin's compositions can be hypnotic or maddening or both -- between a bizarrely handled bass sax and clunky percussion and some spectral wordless 'ooo'ing, sparse rigidity-n-repetition is a take it or leave it motif. Bound to primarily draw in the tone-centric zealots and avant-jazz admirers; but brief and manageable enough to not leave normies in the dust. Plus his particular techniques are stylistically pretty apportioned: works ya in slow and seductively, hones in on hectic+dirty, stuns with softly soaring sublimity and buildups. A 13-minute closer contains all of the above.
