Aerial M - WIUS, Bloomington, Indiana, April 6, 1998

I've been enjoying the hell out of the recent Peel Sessions release from David Pajo's Aerial M, which was recorded in early 1998. Featuring the lineup of Cassie Berman on bass, Tim Furnish on guitar, and the late Tony Bailey on drums, it's a powerful document of a fairly short-lived collective. Majestic, math-y, melodic ... fabulous! So here's something a bit more lo-fi, but hi-quality — 26 minutes of the same players back in the USA that same year, playing a short-but-oh-so-sweet set for a Bloomington college radio station. Pajo and Furnish's guitars chime gloriously, while Berman and Furnish are totally locked-in. Dazed and awake, for sure!

Oh and hey, does Pajo have a new Papa M album on the way? He sure does.

Also this Papa M song sounds like what Tortoise might sound like if he was still in the band

Tortoise - Bimbo's 365 Club, San Francisco, California, May 25, 1996

At some point last month, Drag City made Papa M's Live From A Shark Cage its "Item of the Day" — and I realized that I had somehow misplaced my copy of this excellent David Pajo-masterminded record. I had to get another, and since it was delivered to my door a few weeks ago, I've been reveling anew in its awesomeness. If you haven't heard it, you gotta.

Shark Cage sent me in various Pajo-centric directions — including towards this incredible tape from his stint in Tortoise. You gotta hand it to David, he really had an outstanding 1990s, from Slint to Tortoise to Will Oldham to Stereolab (plus many more solo works and side trips).

On this evening in San Francisco, Tortoise starts out soaring with a gorgeous "Gamera" and pretty much stays at a beautiful elevation for the rest of the show. The groove is extremely strong, whether on the vibe-y "Djed, pt. II" or the lovely drift of "Glass Museum." Then there are two very cool covers — the Art Ensemble of Chicago's "Theme De YoYo" and Hugh Masekela's "Grazing In The Grass." The latter tune, which closes things out, shows that Tortoise could transform into a very groovy party band when they felt like it ...

Aerial M - Vivea

David Pajo’s Aerial M released an album of their 1998 Peel Sessions, which I listened to last night. I love the Aerial M studio album, which was all recorded by Pajo himself, so it’s really interesting to hear this music performed by a live band. It had a bit more kick to it. Good stuff!
