A very beautiful and "gypsylike" musical experience, totally accessible & with music for all tastes! This album features Zzaj vocals (a fairly rare occasions) on 2 tracks, "Rhythm Rider" & "Speak EZ", both from poems he wrote many years ago, then turned to music.

On Whirling Dervish got The Ventures pulling teeth from the jaw of Stanley Turrentine...falling through flesh tubes and treading dream-corridors with Dialogue for Drifters...when it's processed well, the rote percussion programs possess a robotic grin and mechanical grandeur, which insert moments of "meet George Jetson!" into the landscapes these boys conjure. I go pretty far back with both of these jokers and Mark still wrests some of the most obtuse CHUNKS and skanky MOANS from his axe. Zzaj (Dick Metcalf) is...well, "Zzaj". I've had the benefit of hearing scads of his work, and have read reviews of lots of what I haven't myself heard... Zzaj's keyboards are attacked with a childlike wonder, punky confidence, and he is generally operating within knowable parameters (slo-blooze, lounge-jazz, free-form splatter, etc) regardless of with whom he collaborates. One listen, and you go, "There's a whole lotta DICK in there."
