The Irresistible Force - Flying High

Irresistible Force, The - Flying High (1992) (Instinct Records, EX-258-2, 1993) (320)

Let's get back to the music.  Mixmaster Morris should be familiar to everyone, but unfortunately he's not.  The people that do know him, really respect his output as a musician, and as a dj/promoter.  This is an early 90's gem that I didn't buy until probably '96.  I just grabbed this cd yesterday from the cd shelf and threw it in the car and it still sounds incredible.  I dunno, you should just check it out now.

Obligatory review or two:

Ambient house was given artistic depth by pioneers such as Irresistible Force, the project of disc-jockey Mixmaster Morris (Morris Gould). Flying High (1992) was inspired by avantgarde composers such as Harry Partch and Karlheinz Stockhausen, and was reminiscent of Brian Eno, Steve Reich and Tangerine Dream, while revealing affinities with Terence McKenna's hallucinogenic metaphysica.  scaruffi.com

Along with the Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld and the KLF's Chill Out, Irresistible Force's Flying High is one of the first and finest of the new ambient crop. Mixmaster Morris' mix of electronic and organic textures and epic song lengths helped set the standard (and was responsible for more than a few clichés). All but one track, tellingly, features the word "high" in the title; the one that doesn't is called "Symphony in E." Essential. ~ Sean Cooper

Included in CMJ's 5 Essential Downbeat Albums - ...Mixmaster Morris' epic tracks blend electronic and organic textures, which blazed the trail for downbeat music back in the early '90s...  CMJ  (10/23/2000)
