The Jay Arthur Column

Article from Making Music, December 1987


"So what about your bass playing. I mean your style is a little unusual. You use a lot of chords and things."
Brian Hodgson gets really experimental with Lemmy, Guitarist

"So we have seen that good creativity comes from having a healthy dynamic between the analytical powers of the left brain and the intuition of the right side of the brain."
John Lancaster makes it all so obvious in International Musician.

"Disorientation days are followed by narcotic nights, in Loop's vision of the kaleidoscope's last gleaming."
Jack Barron reviewing Loop album, NME.

"What about this pure expression or 'freaking out' as you called it? Isn't the danger of that very big when there's a lot of improvisation going on? How do you keep communicating without going off on your own trip?"
Paul Tingen gets out a joss stick with John Mizarolli, Guitarist

"The proportions and style don't suit the way I play, although after a while it seemed extremely playable."
Penny Braybrooke changing basses in mid stream, Guitarist

"Her dominitrax rap reduces to particles accelerated into a centrifuge of orbital keyboards leaving a depthless blanl-centred mix that almost erase itself together."
Paul Oldfield, bequeaths his old Chemistry book to the Rhythm Kingdom, Melody Maker.

"Mark Stewart's 'Anger' recycles the deteriorated pumice grain of rock guitar chords, obliterates go-go percussion with tectonic plate HM guitar, lets great sutures open, lets beats slip and elide."
Paul Oldfield, Funky Alternatives 2, Melody Maker. (He really is very good, isn't he??)

"The shy cascades of melody in one song transmogrify into agonised teething problems in the next."
Ralph Traitor gets to the heart of Yo La Tengo, Sounds.
