Back to Eric Hug with the Society for Future Research, 1990







Lovely artwork, again, on this release from quite a late year, by a one-off band (information here) which exhibits the Erik Hug we heard before in the last ReR.  He is one of 3 composers on this record-- actually the only true composition is done by him with the others throwing in the towel with improvised garbage, sorry, I meant, improvised free jazz.  The other 2 being bassists D. Prusak and E. Heinz-Guantes.

For this collaboration Erik (drums, piano) was allotted a total of roughly 11 minutes of fantastic chamber music with piano, string quartet and cello, actually along with the 6 minutes of Diary from the ReR you have a nice continuous mini chamber fantasia, and that's really all there is to this.  However it was well worth the price of admission for me (less than 20 bucks), if only to satisfy a day's craving of beautiful music I never heard before. 

For example, notice how oddly titled the song called Stormy Monday Blues is, given the sound of the music:
