Douglas’ second album from his electronics-fuelled band confirms, as if confirmation were needed, the horn man's extraordinary vocabulary. Dark Territory (the title alludes to the murky unknowns of cyber war, so the digitalised music fits) is different again from High Risk, even though the line-up remains the same. We may kick in with the almost balladic ‘Celine’ but we're soon cast upon the rolling deeps of Maron and Guiliana's locked down beats, while Shigeto's meditations yaw and shatter, buzzsaw slashing one moment, cosmically out there the next. The ghost of Miles, of course, haunts this soundworld, but Douglas (whose own trumpet is remarkably untreated, making it all the more distinct from the soundscapes around him) is able to bear witness to his influences while cutting a swathe of his own. ‘Let's Get One Thing Straight’ alone is worth the entrance fee: we start in a Czukay-like sound painting, move to a beautiful theme from Douglas, have it coloured by a sampled voice that echoes Reich's Different Trains and then it all morphs in a neurotically intense climax. Dark Territory; brightest talents.
