Stuart Dempster, Underground Overlays from the Cistern Chapel (CD)

Stuart Dempster is 1/3 of Deep Listening Band. On 1995's Underground Overlays from the Cistern Chapel, he's playing trombone with many of his students in a cistern. As a whole, it's a big cavernous, reverb-laden drone, which is hardly a surprise. There are brief moments of strangeness and pulsing that provide surprising interruptions to the ongoing wash. The packaging, which funnily superimposes the Sistine Chapel on a photo of graffiti in the cistern, is weakened by the other design elements around the image.
