Eddie Prevost with Tom Chant and John Edwards.  "This trio, quite intuitively (because I never spelt out what I hoped would happen) works in a subtle, attentive way: examining what the music is and where it is going all within the process of playing; feeling the sound to be complementary and in contrast to other sounds; feeling the stuff of the instruments, and sensing the presence of other creative beings. This is part of the extraordinary and gloriously uncertain matrix of what making and listening to music should be about" - Eddie Prévost  --- Tracklisting: 1. Contingent Upon - 11:162. Maybe Years - 7:133. Whatever Worlds - 21:504. Mayhaps - 14:085. Perchance - 11:286. Within The Realms Of… - 10:50 --- Recorded at Gateway Studios, Kingston-upon-Thames, England on August 28th 2000.

"Many look to AMM's past for clues of a tenor which, based on the group's intent to explore the future, is ironic: like a Fluxus poem, the history of AMM is right now, and the present is a curious one. Working for years as a duo, founder Eddie Prévost and John Tilbury (joined in 1980) augment this set with former member Christian Wolff on bass guitar, piano and melodica, cellist Ute Kanngiesser and John Butcher on sax. The results are terrific but understandably varied, the crew abstaining from abrasive angst in favor of mature methods of subversion during this 52-minute performance." - Dave Madden --- John Butcher / tenor and soprano saxophones Ute Kanngiesser / cello John Tilbury / piano Christian Wolff / piano, bass guitar and melodica Edwin (Eddie) Prévost / percussion --- Recorded at the 'Freedom of the City' festival, Conway Hall, London on Sunday the 3rd of May, 2009

Rare Gare! There's nothing really else around to which The Nameless Uncarved Block can usefully be compared. It's another great AMM record, that's all, and that's enough." - The Wire --- John Tilbury / piano Eddie Prévost / percussion Lou Gare / tenor saxophone Keith Rowe / guitar, short-wave radio --- Recorded at concerts given in Zurich and Basel organised by the Taklos Festival, Switzerland, April 1990.

Eddie Prévost & Veryan Weston. Recorded in England, 5/98, mixed by Evan Parker. "'Beauty as an Ear Thing' is a meticulous exploration of texture, full of soft explosions, the reverberant ring of spinning metals, and overtones that glow like embers, dying into silence; this music wouldn't be misplaced on an AMM disc. 'Clustered' rebuilds something out of the emptiness. The dislocated rhythmic feel is like an abstraction of something Monk and Max Roach might have played together. 'Fingers and drums' also conveys the sense of inventing almost from scratch, asking 'what material?' and digging into it to find out. Finally, 'Hammer and Tonic' a roaring thing, leaps from the starting gate as if all questions were resolved long ago..." - Steve Lake --- Eddie Prévost  / drums  Veryan Weston / piano --- Tracklisting: 1. Pinna - 2:52 2. Malleus - 5:56 3. Symphony of Surfaces - 11:08 4. Finger the Fine Needle - 4:32 5. Tympanic - 5:50 6. With Greazie Aprons - 11:08 7. Brush Up - 7:52 8. Sticks and Tones - 7:20 9. Beauty as an Ear Thing - 8:43 10. Clustered - 5:30 11. Fingers and Drums - 3:36 12. Hammer and Tonic - 6:41 --- Recorded at Gateway Studios, Kingston, England by the great Steve Lowe on 5th & 29th June. Mixed by Evan Parker. 

"These musicians have chosen to eschew the given media of jazz, from whence Evan Parker received much of his initial inspiration, and the classical world from which John Tilbury received his early and formative training, in order to become autonomous human beings who can engage creatively and practically -- not only with the world of sound, but with the the world of philosophy, and thence reflect upon a civil society. Why make art if not wanting to indicate other worlds and to transcend this one?" - Eddie Prévost. --- Evan Parker / tenor & soprano saxophones John Tilbury / piano --- Tracklisting: 1. In which the listener will perceive that in some cases madness is catching - 32:10 2. Which shews that there are more ways to kill a dog than hanging 3.

"A wonderful album of crunch ‘n’ roll, as Manchester drumming -legend Phillip Marks leads Rex Casswell (electric guitar), best known for his tenure in Stock,Hausen & Walkman, and Paul Obermayer (sampler) through some entertaining and very original music. They’ve managed to inject the rhythmic humour of Thelonious Monk into all the abraded textures favoured in post-rock and electronica, vanquishing its tendencies towards Enoesque pretension with ribald physical beats. Casswell is an astonishingly original guitarist, reconstituting the instrument from pick-up to amplifier. His beautifully-judged architectonics provide a cool spritzer to the others’ heat, as well as providing a bridge between the actuality of the drums and the virtuality of the sampler. Obermayer disdains the use of off-the-peg samples which plague much trendy electronica. He uses his sampler to bring tiny sounds into audible range. The resulting timbres are like microscopic slides in the hands of a master surrealist. Swing sans nostalgia achieves electrified materialism. Short track timings add to the decisive feel.

An AMM concert: Lublin in Poland. A Place. Atmosphere of place pervades the music - 'place' from the latin platea and Greek plateia - 'open space'. Open space is what AMM thrives on. Open - as in uncongested. Open - as in receptive. Open - as in enquiring. New open spaces offer new challenges. Acoustics too are different, as is the piano and the percussion. Materially they can be different Sense of place is also coloured by cultural context. Eastern Poland has its history and expectations. We have ours. So, as we place our sounds into their space we have to live and support our own artistic axioms. Such an offering may be a foreign invasion - an imposition upon another place. Or, it can be a musical proposal to potential friends. A poetic whisper of what may be possible in human creativity and affairs.  --- Eddie Prévost / percussion John Tilbury / piano  --- Tracklisting: 1. Lublin - 1:00:01 --- Lublin was recorded at CODES — The festival of Traditional and Avant-garde Music — Lublin, Poland on 16th May 2012. Recorded by Jaroslaw Rudnicki.

Studio recordings from January, 2004. d t s r c e i e.  --- John Tilbury / piano, prepared piano and organ Eddie Prévost / stringled barrel, tam-tam, percussion. --- "Some of their music is delicate and pointillistic with wide spaces between sounds, but there are also rich, thick webs and, as indicated, Cage/Kleeube Goldberg thunkity-thunk machines. The two men also provide a hefty helping of what seems to me missing from too many of the "non-I" recordings I hear: drama. (For those who don't like drama, there's sonic variety-which may or may not be acceptable these days: I don't know.) For all its multiplicity, however, unlike Tilbury's recent fiasco with Tippett and Riley, the vision is constant and coherent throughout. discrete moments is so so beautiful." - Walter Horn, bagatellen.com --- Recorded at Gateway Studios, Kingston on the 6th of January, 2004 by Steve Lowe. Front cover "Roadwork"  by Brenda Mayo, 2002.
