Russ Vines and the Contemporary Music Ensemble – Gemini
I have no clue what Russ was aiming for when he put this out. A majority of this record is tepid jazz, the track “zippy’s night out” gets pretty funky but then goes downhill. Here’s a soundclip of one of the spacy electronic tracks on the record – “Gemini 1”

cool cover and I like the spacy electronic thing. Is the tepid jazz at least spacy and electronic as well? Or would it then not be tepid?
Jermey gave me a copy of this and I actually find it to be pretty un-tepid. Definitely all over the place though. Too jazzy to be an avant garde record, and to avant to be jazz. Real decent for 1983 though.
nice piece of FX style analog knob twiddling
from the sound clip the electronics sounds pretty cool..
i’m curious of the type of jazz(free jazz? or traditional structured songs?) thats performed on this.. & also are the tracks that incorporate the jazz/instruments also incorporate electronics too?
