BLURT: 'Live In Berlin'
(Armageddon ARM 6)
By Mark Total


I'M CONFUSED. Is this paranoid jazz or mutant disco?
Blurt are a three piece who delight in challenging their listener. Their, line – up for a start – vocals, sax, guitar and drums – is to say, in the least, unorthodox. This music is very spontaneous and this live album has captured the true essence of their maniac sax breaks and Ted Milton's throttled vocals. What Blurt play does indeed verge on the realms of jazz (though don't get me wrong it doesn't ramble), though they have taken it and thrown in into the 21st century.
