Unspeakable

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Stylistic shifts are nothing new in the career of Bill Frisell, who changes musical directions more often than Madonna. In fact, he even covered a Madonna song once. Unspeakable continues that tendency as Frisell teams up with Hal Willner, a willful musical eclectic. The two have worked together on collaborative projects including tributes to Nino Rota, Walt Disney, and Charles Mingus. Willner, who is also the turntabulist here, orchestrates a landscape of turntable spins and space jams using generic library production discs for much of his source material. '60s Dragnet jazz horns and orchestral Twilight Zone stylings lend the modern sound of Unspeakable a strangely nostalgic hue. Frisell finds himself in a landscape of Ligeti-like strings, bongo percolations, and Ghanian tribal calls, most of it super-charged by the rhythm team of bassist Tony Scherr and drummer Kenny Wollesen. Their funky beats lay the terrain for Frisell's angular crossfire solos, but he can also wax sweetly nostalgic on "Hymn for Ginsberg" for guitar and string trio. Bill Frisell is filed in jazz, but he continues to be a genre unto himself. --John Diliberto

Product Description
On Unspeakable, guitarist Bill Frisell and producer Hal Willner (Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed) take a freewheelings, idiosyncratic approach to the modern art of music sampling, in a groove-and-soul based project. Frisell and Willner employ often obscure songs and sounds culled from vintage vinyl as the jumping off-point for their own sonic explorations, with choice fragments borrowed and integrated into original compositions. Unspeakable can have a fierce and infectious groove at times, and at others will adopt a more relaxed and reflective feel.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2006-12-20

I have this and I love it!! You'll realize how unimportant and foolish a lot of worldly issues are. "My soul has been anchored" is my testimony. And, for the record, NO ONE sings it like Douglas.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Gospel At It's Best.......2004-10-26

Now back in the 80's I can remember when this album first came out. On our way to church the DJ played "Unspeakable Joy", and we almost had to pull over because of the presence of God filling our souls. "Give Him The Praise" has such a funky groove to it, but the call to give Jesus the praise will have u lift your hands in submission to the Lord. "Glad That He Lifted Me" will make u pat your feet and get up and dance before Him. "My Soul Is Anchored is ont of the most "covered" songs in gospel concerts and "afternoon" services that I almost got weary of hearing it. But once you met Jesus you can identify with the singer. I recommend this cd to all gospel music lovers. I appreciate the older stuff.

5 out of 5 stars My Souls been Anchored in the Lord.. A true testimonal song........2002-08-06

This song is a testimony to me in itself. When I finally just sit down and listened to the words, and received the true message I began to shout, then cry, and shout again. If you know that your Soul is really Anchored in the Lord, then you can do all things through Christ, which strengthens you. "Though the storms keep on raging in my life, and sometimes it's hard to tell the night from day, still that hope that lies within is reassured, as I keep my eyes upon that distant shore I know He'll lead mt safely to that blesses place He has prepared, but if the storms don't cease, and if the winds keeps on blowing my soul has been anchored in the Lord!" THATS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME SHOUT RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW... YOU BETTER GET SERIOUS ABOUT THIS THANG..JESUS IS REAL!!!! AND TIME IS WINDING UP... MAKE SURE YOUR SOUL IS ANCHORED IN THE LORD AT ALL TIMES!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Pure Atmospheric Awsomeness........2007-01-11

A "Must Have" for any Lovecraftian fan, afficianado...Or even if you just like creepy background music. Amid the haunting scores are several well done quotes from the fabled Lovecraftian tome, a chant to Nyarlathotep and the infamous "Ia Cthulhu Phtagn" passage done with 'proper' reverence and fanatascism. Definitely a "mood music" CD but one that sets the mood it intends very well

5 out of 5 stars A musical tribute to H.P. Lovecraft.......2006-11-06

In this, the second CD realease from Nox Arcana, the focus is on Lovecraft and his works. The music explores the deities that roamed the earth when men lived in darkness and served these Gods as slaves. The listener is taken through a musical journey that explores the visions of Alhazred, the Mad Arab. The mythos of the Necronomicon takes you to the realms of Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth, Dagon, and Cthulhu.

I highly recommend this for anyone who has a healthy respect for myth, and can appreciate the dark musical talents of these gifted people. I certainly do.

5 out of 5 stars The Mythos comes alive!.......2006-10-31

This is the perfect companion for sitting down and reading the works of Lovecraft. It makes for wonderful ambience! Excellent.

5 out of 5 stars A Masterful Musical Depiction Of A Terrifying Tome.......2006-09-27

Not long ere this time, we were taken on a journey through the haunted halls of a ruined Victiorian mansion, home of the notorious Darklore family. Now we are invited to once again pay heed to the call of Nox Arcana... masterful and peerless minstrels of the macabre, as they invite us to walk with them once more. This time our journey is into a horrifying yet captivating musical opus depicting the pages of the mythos long ago scrawled by H.P. Lovecraft. Before you now lies, related to us in music, the ancient tome of the Necronomicon. Do you dare to open its pages and gaze upon them?

1. Mythos - Here we stand, at the beginning of a new journey, into both terror and wonder. It is begun with the sound of a howling wind. That frigid gale seems to have a keening quality to it, a moaning sound if you like, and a touch of faint "rumbling". It is soon joined by mournful yet melodious male chorus. Over this floats another voice, that of co-composer Joseph Vargo. He assumes the role of 'storyteller' for us once more, relating for us the following preamble:

"Long before mankind existed, the Old Ones trod upon the Earth. They worshipped the elder gods and served them as slaves, but in time, the Old Ones gained the knowledge of dark magic, and dared to use their sinister powers against their masters. The wrath of the elder gods was merciless and terrible, and those who rebelled against them were banished to distant dimensions, and imprisoned within the darkest recesses of the Earth. In deathless sleep the Old Ones dream and lie in wait for the time when they shall rise again. For when the stars come right, they shall awaken from their eon-old slumber. Then shall they return to hold dominion over our world once more, bringing woe and destruction unto mankind."

2. The Nameless City - This piece to me is beautiful. It depicts for me a wondrous journey to an unknown place, both dark and splendid. The piece is begun with a melding of what sounds like flutes combined with keyboard work whose tone is strongly choral in nature. It conveys a feeling of dread and awe together. Soon, percussion and strings join in with beautiful choir to complete the piece. The pacing is not quite a march-like one, but slightly quicker... depicting travel. In my mind I visualize traversing a desert amidst a raging sandstorm, and then crossing a turbulent waterway to behold an ancient city alive with dark and brooding majesty.

3. Alhazred's Vision - This piece has a very adventurous feeling to it. It seems to be a companion piece to track two but that's a good thing. Brooding strings and purcussion are joined by the tambourine to give it a more exotic flavor. Majestic choir returns to the piece in a way that gives it a very nice completion and fleshing out.

4. Necronomicon- Here, it seems, we are given a thematic piece. Haunting keyboards and sinister choral work pay us a visit to reprise and expand on the tune from the first track, making it the "star" of this piece rather than an undercurrent to narration. This is a good thing. It depicts in music the Necronomicon itself and is a more than fitting theme for a tome whose ancient pages are replete with dark wonders and ghastly secrets.

5. Ancient Shadows - Percussion, keyboards and strings do another dance for us. Choral accents here are very strong and powerful. As I close my eyes here, I can conceive in my mind an image of a barren land with a flame-red sky, slowly being swallowed by gathering stormclouds. It's a very strong piece and a great mood-setter for the terror to come.

6. Azathoth - This piece is a description of one of what Lovecraft's mythos refers to as the Great Old Ones. We are treated to a macabre choral melody over which Joseph Vargo's own voice gently drifts telling us of this creature : "From his black throne at the center of ultimate chaos, Azathoth, lord of madness and the abyss, rules supreme over all time and space... for he is the master of all that dwells in the darkness."

7. The Black Throne - Darker and darker it seems do we get. Ominous chorals and percussion mate with keyboards and tolling bells. To me, this piece blends terror and majesty in a manner that I might only call completely flawless.

8. Nyarlahotep- Here is another descriptive piece. Once again beautiful keyboard work with choral accents joins Joseph Vargo's hypnotic narration as we hear him say: "To Nyarlahotep must all things be told, for he is the traveller between the spheres, and the messenger between the realms of the living and the dead. He shall summon forth the ancient ones, and wake them from their deathless slumber. Then shall the Elder Signs be shattered, and the lords of darkness be released."

9. Temple Of The Black Pharoah - If I had to use one word to describe this piece, that word would be exotic. It is a beautiful piece, comprised of soft keyboard wizardry and chorals, mated with Egyptian style percussion and mysterious chanting. Part of it for a while sounds like pan pipes were used, at the beginning perhaps. Again I visualize crossing a river in a rustic canoe and coming to an ancient temple, a site to inspire both terror and awe being rooted deep within the heart of any who see it.

10. Eldritch Rites - Here, we are given a dose of the ominous and the sinister. This is a "simple" piece but I say that in a good way. It is a genuinely frightening vignette, given to us in a simple manner...proving that sometimes less is indeed more. A chilling sound, a resonant gong... is joined by brooding male chorals. They are overlaid by the voice of Joseph Vargo performing what appears to be an incantion of sorts... one that seems to summon the Great Old Ones by name, to bring them back from their deathless sleep.

11. The Haunter Of The Dark - This piece to me is scary but beautiful. A tolling bell is coupled with ominous choral melody and darkly majestic keyboard work and strings. Pipe organ compliments and fits into the piece wonderfully. The impression is one of being watched and stalked by a relentless and unstoppable force. The thunderclap at the end is an awesome touch and welcome indeed. Beautiful work.

12. The Awakening - "That is not dead which can eternal lie... and with strange eons even death may die." With this famous line from Lovecraft does the hypnotic narrating voice of Joseph Vargo introduce us to this piece. Heartbeat-like percussion soon drifts in, coupled with the steady, swirling sound of strings. Compelling choir soon makes its prescence known to us. I would name this one "invigorating". It's pace is march-like, and it carries a quite epic feel.

13. Yog Sothoth- Another homage to one of the Great Old Ones. Stately percussion and a soft but deep and resonant gong are the backdrop. Joseph Vargo's narrative voice joins us once more, as if telling a chilling tale of imminent catastrophe that merely awaits the right moment to fall upon us. "From across the black seas of infinity and beyond the mists of time, Yog Sothoth watches and waits. For he is the guadian of the gateway between worlds, and he alone holds the key to unlock the gate. For when the ancient rites have been spoken, and the lords of darkness have been awakened and summoned forth, then shall the gateway between the stars open once more. Past, present, future... All are one in Yog Sothoth."

14. Guardian Of The Gate - Here, keyboards and strings begin a new waltz for us. The strings swirl about us, as if driving us closer to the heart of a violent tempest. Darkly regal choir joins in. The tempo of these choral parts in particular, provide "spikes" of tension, as if the bolts on a great portal are being ever so slowly but surely and inevitably drawn back... it is only a matter of time before our worst nightmares come to pass.

15. Lords Of Darkness- This one is comprised of steadily paced strings, percussion and tolling bells. Choral majesty gifts us with its prescence also. This brings to mind a macabre twist on a kingly procession. It further lets us know that, all too soon... our nightmares will be real.

16. Dagon - Yet another description is given to us here... a piece of heraldry. Subtle keyboard wizardry combines with a choral moan of sorts. Joseph Vargo's voice chimes in once more: "Behold mighty Dagon... the great leviathan, risen from the black depths of the eternal sea. For he is the avatar of Cthulhu, who lies dreaming in deathless slumber... in his ancient temple in Ryleh."

17. The Stars Allign - Once again do ominous percussion and strings return to us here. Keyboards come in as well, feeling almost like horns heralding a great catastrophe. Snare drums make an effective appearance as well. This is yet another sign that our time is running out, even faster than it appeared to be doing so beforehand.

18. Cthulhu- Yet another gripping piece of descriptive homage. Choral work reminiscent of monastic chanting is joined by Joseph Vargo narrating for us very effectively. "Hail mighty Cthulhu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones. For when the stars come right, he shall rise from his ancient tomb to signal their return. Then shall the ancient ones long ago banished to the outer spheres break free from their prisons and plunge from the stars to claim the Earth once more. For those who lurk at the threshold of our world are ever vigilant for the time of their return."

19. Rite Of Summoning- This piece is just what the title suggests. Again, it is simple, yet it is also quite chillingly effective. Joseph Vargo returns yet again. This time he assumes the role of one who summons the great Cthulhu from his deathless slumber. His vocal performance is augmented really quite nicely by keyboard work that essentially gives us a dread inducing series of choral moans or a "howling wind" effect.

20. Cthulhu Rising - Keyboards, percussion and strings combine here with choral work to comprise a sinister yet stately and regal march. At long last does Chtulu awaken. The twilight of man is come. Alas and woe, the last hour is struck. All that remains is the fading of the last vesper toll into the midnight sky... and our time will cease upon this world.

21. The Great Old Ones- This piece, the CD's closer, could be called a companion piece to track 20. Again, it is martial in nature, expertly blending percussion, chorals, keyboards and strings. To me, it is a culmination... an expert depiction as Earth is swarmed and overtaken by a relentless tide of "invaders"... members of an ancient species of dark and malevolent beings. The first section of the piece is ended by what sounds like screeching bats or some other similar type of creature. There is then a fairly long period of silence until Joseph Vargo narrates for us once again: "From the wells of night to the gulfs of space let it be known: The Old Ones were, the Old Ones are, and the Old Ones shall be. Azathoth, Shug Ngurrub, Zath Ogwah, Nyarlahotep, Yog Sothoth, Dagon, Cthulhu... Man rules now where they ruled once. They wait patient and potent... for here shall they reign again..." There is another short narration at the very end of this track Honestly, if I could change anything about this piece, it would be the length of time that stands betwen then end of the musical section of the track and the first of the two narrations. It does not take away from the quality of the piece, but it is noticable and I wish it had been shortened a bit.

In closing, this is yet another brilliant piece of work by Nox Arcana. A truly terrifying tale of the imminent twillight and fall of the human race. Any fan of the writings of H.P. Lovecraft should love this, but you do not need to be a fan of Lovecraft's writing in order to enjoy it immensely. I love this work as much as all others by Nox Arcana. They are true masters of the art of musical storytelling... weavers of majestically epic horror tales, and truly gifted minstrels for the modern age.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Brilliant.......2006-08-09

This is a hypnotic, dark symphony that perfectly captures the mood of the Lovecraftian Mythos. Listen to this in the quiet of night and be transported (metaphorically) across the vast gulfs of space and time to where great Cthulhu lies dreaming. This is the best HPL music I have ever heard, better than the music of Eric Zann.

5 out of 5 stars Exciting, Interesting and Unusual.......2007-01-30

This 2004 gem is without a doubt, one of the most exciting and interesting jazz albums I own. Frisell has an incredibly unique voice with a truly eclectic range and it's impossible to mistake him for anyone else. I remember seeing the movie "Finding Forrester" some time ago and as soon as I heard the first few notes of the score, I knew it was he.

I already had quite a number of albums he has played on as a guest, including some by the bassist Marc Johnson and fellow guitarist Mike Stern, but this was the first album of his that I decided to buy. His approach to melody and improvisation (on this album particularly) took some getting used to and is certainly unusual but I totally get him now and can see clearly why he is one of the most respected jazz guitarists of his generation. This is a great album.

3 out of 5 stars 3 and 1/2 stars on first blush.......2007-01-12

I think I've figured out the "Unspeakable" part. These sound like demos or backing tracks to singing or spoken word parts (some of the titles refer to poets) that never got recorded. Well, you can't fake the funk, but as has been pointed out here, it is nice to have Mr. Frisell back spreading around his electro-geek weirdness in the land where the "inner-city" exists. In fact, let's say you and your sweetheart are lucky enough rent a nice car and leave Oaktown behind for a weekend getaway up the coast. Have I got a soundtrack for you. This is one I am looking forward to revisiting as time goes by.

5 out of 5 stars Smooth and graceful.......2006-03-15

Frisell's "Unspeakable" recording is smooth and relaxing to listen to. It is the type of music where you can simply relax and get lost in the hypnotic quality, or you can listen carefully and hear interesting textures and overlays. He chooses each note with care, and each of those notes fits well within the context of the song. It is produced well so that you can hear each note ring fully and gracefully. It is nice to hear a master musician use an understated approach to composition, and this approach works well to effectively pull the listener into the song.

5 out of 5 stars Bill Frisell at the Zenith of his expression...........2006-02-22

Of course, I am a hugely biased fan of Bill Frisell, own several of his CDs and have seen him play live on several occasions in a variety of musical contexts.

Unspeakable is the very best music album of any kind I have listened to in several years. It is hypnotically transplendent and so highly addictive I could not take the CD out of my car for several weeks. In fact, I gave this CD as a gift to several of my very close friends.

4 out of 5 stars Tightly crafted songs.......2005-12-23

Grammy-winning "Unspeakable" continues Bill Frisell's style of putting emphasis on song over solo. The music is very structured. Unlike some of his recent albums, there is a fair amount of shaped feedback and looping. In rough terms, the album alternates loud catchy songs with quiet textural ones.

    5 out of 5 stars Groovy dance track with a deeper message.......2005-06-18

    It's amazing I used to hear this song in the clubs and on dance compilations all the time and I loved it. I recently became a christian and one day this song kept running through my head. I began to think about alot of Kim's lyrics which seem to have some very spiritual sounding themes. So I did some research, and in an article written a few years ago Kim was very adamant about her faith in God and that He inspires her lyrics. I dont think this song is about making your own joy, as one person suggested who reviewed this. It's about finding joy and strength from the source, from God. Joy that can never be taken away.
    I think it's awesome that there are artists out there who are sharing their faith openly in their music, not judgemental, not ramming it down your throat, but just sharing that unspeakable joy.

    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!!!.......2004-03-12

    This is a mix CD of extraordinary magnitude. The artists responsible for this musical delight have my gratitude.

    Can't say much more than that. The Remixes Kick ass!!

    5 out of 5 stars This jam is NOTHIN' BUT DA TRUTH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-09-15

    Oh my Goodness this song is just the Jam!!! I mean it's the kind of song you can sip a Cosmopolitan or Apple Martini to and then..........JUST LET GO!! ---Hell,even sober it just does'nt matter!! It makes you want to lose complete control on the dance floor, If anyone is against the wall when this plays in a club they have GOT to be trippin' no doubt in my mind.

    5 out of 5 stars Uplifting Peppy Powerful Different Fast-Paced Rolling. BEST.......2000-05-09

    You know when you hear a song for the first time and it sends chills throughout your body... it's a great song... infact one of my ALL TIME Favorites! It is Uplifting, Peppy, Powerful, Different Fast-Paced Rolling. A DaNce Great for SURE! There is so much electricity and energy in "Unspeakable Joy" song #3 on the CD it's incredible. "Unspeakable Joy" is also kind of a cool contradiction in itself in that the LYRICS speak of JOY, yet the song has a somewhat evil beat. The BASS is the best of any song I have heard ... Dance, or otherwise. The song twists and turns in idiosyncasies, with great interludes. The Beat goes up and down. I also love the the main Lyrics: "Unspeakable Joy, as they did not give it, they cannot take it away". The song says you got to make your own JOY in life. I don't usually Dance.... but I do to this one! I give it 6 STARS out of 5 possible STARS! C. C.

    5 out of 5 stars The Spoken Word Indeed!.......2001-12-20

    Just as he mastered the art of the short story, gonzo journalism, screenwriting, and the pithy epistle, Terry Southern, with a little help from friends like Nelson Lyon, Michael O'Donoghue, Jonathan Winters, Marianne Faithful, Hal Wilner and company, proves to be no slouch in the Spoken Word Department. "Give Me Your Hump" is a very funny and profound survey of many of Southern's greatest comic achievements. This was one of Southern's last major projects and it has been brought to completion with wit, sensitivity, care, and style. I especially enjoyed "The Loved One" sketch where Terry plays both funeral director and client.

    This record will warp your CD player. It will warp your brain. It's rude and crude and DIRTY! It will upset the neighbors, make your property values sink and lower your standing in the community. This CD is vile! It is beneath reproach! In other words, it's one of the funniest... CD releases of the year--of any year! Buy it--steal it if you have to--(no, don't steal it) but GET THIS CD.
