CD ReviewsA Great Place to Start Your Nels Cline Collection! Stephen | Virginia Beach, VA USA | 05/07/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is prbably the best introduction to Cline's sound world. Cline is an extremely gifted guitarist who seems to be much more interested in producing the right sound than showing off his chops. Those chops are definitely strong, though!On the Inkling, Cline utilizes acoustic a little more than other sessions and Parkins' harp seem to be mostly acoustic. The songs, though many are relatively short, tend to be open ended.As with all Cline releases, expect the unexpected. Cline never seems to play the notes/chords you'd expect, but they make sense in the end." Spider-corked weirdo lullabyes from Saturn Pharoah S. Wail | Inner Space | 11/02/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is a band from which I would more than welcome another cd. There is just something magical about the electric bond between Nels and Zeena, and Mark and Billy certainly add to that. With New Old Hat we get acoustic improvisation. Not so much "free jazz"... more like "free Spanish old-world acoustic improvisation". Lovely. Then comes the ominous power of Zeena's electric harp on Spider Wisdom. This track captures the true spacefreak beauty of this band in all it's glory. Queen Of Angels gives us an orchestra of Indy 500 cars as conducted by the mentally unstable while Lullaby For Ian is more like the gentle sounds that NASA hopes they never here with one of their radio telescopes. Some musicians peak in their 20s and then never again catch the fire. Then there are others, like those on this cd, who continue to grow, learn, and express time after time, album after album. With the warped humpback songs of Mark's arco bass, the freaked-out radio signals of Zeena's electric harp, and the always right-but-new drumming of Billy, Nels couldn't help but pump out some massive, mind-bending group improvisations on this album." Bi-coastal avent-guardianism Jeanne Lightly | 07/09/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Inkling is all about exploration and the swift swapping of musical ideas, and guitarist Nels Cline leaves no corner of jazz, rock, scrit, or skronk unscrapped."
