Six years after Six of One, Evan Parker proposed another solo album. The
Snake Decides features the man, his soprano saxophone, and a gifted
sound engineer in Michael Gerzon, to whom Parker pays tribute in the
liner notes to the CD reissue (a reissue that sticks to the original
album, no bonus material on this one). Six of One is hard to beat,
especially since at the time (1980) it represented a thunderous
introduction to Parker's solo playing. But The Snake Decides manages to
raise the ante, if only slightly. Parker's circular breathing has grown
more flexible and frantic. One pictures a mad snake charmer, playing
multiple melodies at once to make the snakes stretch into different
directions and move in interlocking patterns. In "Buriden's Ass" and
"Haine's Last Tape," the number of notes per minute hits a peak. But
Parker's music has never been about keeping score. The flurry is
necessary to mesmerize the listener, to hypnotize him, to make
everything else within earshot fade away. All that remains is this
kaleidoscope of multiphonics. The title track, 20-minutes long, can seem
like something of an ordeal, but the absence of a pause or break in the
flow of notes obliterates time. But the best, most impressive pieces
are the shorter ones; they are brighter, friskier. Recommended. François Couture
