Noodband With Greetje Bijma ‎– Shiver (1982, LP, Netherlands)

Crafty and antic Dutch R.I.O. shenanigans by a group whose unusual double trio format stacks up dual drum, bass and alto sax components and deploys them in a way that references both Downtown NY moves somewhere between the post-Etron Fou-isms of V-Effect and James Blood Ulmer's harmolodics and the whacked circus jazz escapades of Frenchmen Six Cylindres En V. Recorded live at the Moers Festival, this particular gig found them teamed with guest vocalist Greetje Bijma, whose touched-in-the-head gibbering improv gush peppers much of the proceedings here in a winning fashion. vdoandsound
