If you enjoyed last year's Be Still, then Time Travel should rock your boat because the music comes from the same sessions, with the same core band and the same mixer/engineer, Joe Ferla. The latter deserves a name-check because he created a crystalline sound world for Be Still, which is repeated here, each instrument revelling in a startling clarity. The trick is repeated for Time Travel (the piano in particular shines). But with no vocals, Aoife O'Donovan being elsewhere, the tone has moved from the elegiac to a roogalating post-bop mode. That said, Douglas and his band have a multitude of voices: for every ‘Garden State’, a tough, up-tempo bopper, there's the moody atmospherics of ‘Law Of Historical Memory’ or the lullaby smile of ‘Little Feet’, while no one does riotous joy quite like Douglas as on ‘Beware of Doug’. Many superlatives have been expended on Douglas over the decades, and there's no reason to stop now, although one might quibble that Douglas and co. (and these are always band releases, so tight is this grouping) aren't exactly treading new ground. On the other hand that's part of Time Travel's pleasure: this is Douglas and his mates hunkering down in take no prisoners style and giving it some straightahead welly (that's a technical term). Enjoy!
