Reviews:
“Noisy Silence — Gentle Noise … The American vibraphonist Dave Pike’s debut album on the legendary MPS (Musik Produktion Schwarzwald) label after moving to Germany. The LP is mostly known for the incomparable brilliant sitar tune MATHAR, but it’s continuous great and contains many other good psychedelic Soul-Jazz tunes like I’M ON MY WAY or the grooviest tune written for a mascot: REGARDS FROM FREDDIE HOROWITZ. Volker Kriegel, who has composed the most tunes for the band, has dedicated this one to “Freddie Horowitz” a little green monkey which was dangled in the red Citroën 2CV – Deux Chevaux, the car with that the four musicians was traveling to their live concerts.” What’s Wrong with Grooving
