nels cline's onlive review of
"The Great One is Dead"
(2001)
It's been blowing my mind for 2
years now not just that hardly anyone seems to know that Saccharine Trust
are playing again, but also how AWESOME they sound....NOW! TODAY! This is
the long-awaited disc of the new lineup on which Jack Brewer and Joe Baiza
show - again - why they are such a significant, creative force. Rounded out by
Chris Stein on bass and ubiquitous L.A. drum whizkid Brian Christopherson on
drums, this CD sounds great, has great lyrics/poems, and is still strikingly
original and vital in a period
of stale, soundalike rock band music. They're trying to get this album
licensed for release stateside, so
labels with taste and vision TAKE NOTE!
