Fuck De Boere starts off with yet another rendition of the classic Machine Gun, this time as a nine-piece, including the original performers of the piece with the addition of Gerd Dudek on saxophone. This version (recorded the same year of Machine Gun's release) remains quite aggressive, but it's nowhere near as intense as the original version. Maybe it's just me, but Fred van Hove's piano playing sounds much more prominent this time around, often smoothing out the rough edges of the piece. It's an interesting variation, but I miss the boldness and intensity it once had. At more than twice the length of the first track, Fuck De Boere is one monster jam session, an ode to south african jazz musician Johnny Dyani who would often end his stories by shouting "Fuck De Boere". This one is a treat, going from extremely violent and brash, to smooth or even plain weird in a flash; alone it makes this album worthwhile purchase! |
