Search - Eddie the Rat, Peter J. Martin :: Out Behind the 8--ball

Eddie the Rat seventh release, Out Behind the 8-ball adds to an extensive list of intricate and richly composed concepts to the Eddie the Rat album catalog.
Out Behind the 8-ball features the quartet playing all manner of instruments to composer Peter Martins meticulous compositions whirl and crash along in time. The CD contains finely crafted avant-pop songs (like "The Closet People" and the title track) along with more extended, and far reaching tracks like "March of the Haydevil" (which takes up the last 18 minutes of the disc).

Eddie the Rat is the pseudonym for composer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Martin and the musical group who execute his compositions. Martin calls his music "head music for your feet." Inspired by everything from Indonesian gamelan, American music styles (Jazz, Blues, rock), and modern orchestral music, Eddie the Rat tries to bridge the gap between ritual, roots, and concert music.
