Through the common denominator of mainman Bill Laswell, Material's revolving axis has swept up into it people as diverse as Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, Herbie Hancock, William Burroughs, Nicky Skopelitis, Foday Musa Suso, Hugh Hopper, Fred Frith, and a virtual plethora of likeminded luminaries. This incarnation, which boasts the aforementioned Suso and Skopelitis as well as Bernie Worrell, Aiyb Dieng, and Ginger Baker, took some time out during August of 1992 in Japan to wow its audience with some cooking ethno-jazz. This is the way all live albums ought to be. LIVE IN JAPAN features brand new Material, largely improvised, with some blistering jams and glistening solos on everything from synths and kora to congas and talking drums. Once again, Material pulls a fast one. LIVE IN JAPAN culminates the purity of essence the "band" indulged in on SEVEN SOULS and THE THIRD POWER. But here the funk is brazenly progressive in tone, the tempos vary, the styles toy with jazz, rock, ambience, and back again, and the interplay between Laswell and his cohorts is flawless.
