Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Loons in the monastery is composed of Samuel Claiborne (Guitar, Viola, Whistles, Percussion, Vocals, Alopecia, Pork) and Jennifer Lowman (Synthesisers, Vocals, Cigarettes, Exotic Dancing).

Concentrating on live improvisational performance and experimental film work, these two have been one of the best kept secrets of the avant-garde/electronica/ambiance scene in NY City.

Product Description
An astounding live album of avant-garde/electronica/ambiance from a 'new' duo, recorded directly 'into the board' at various raves and experimental music clubs around the Eastern USA - features synthesisers, guitars, viola, whistles, home-made instruments and percussion all delicately intertwined.

Audacious and varied, from the soaring crystaline lattice of 'Archangel' to the full-blown technicolor/panavision of 'Dissonance is Gliss', to the delicate, haunting 'IRT #6 Downtown'.

The result is the riveting score for a movie that has yet to be produced. Strongly visual and evocative.

Has one (1) 'adult' lyric in it. The rest is instrumental.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent!.......2003-09-22

This is a great album. Trout Fishing sometimes does some humor songs that you might not want to listen to over and over (like if the CD was in constant rotation) but that is not a problem on this CD. The only odd one is The Day the Bass Players Took Over the World and it is not disruptive (of a mood) to keep it out of CD rotation. The quality of every other song is unsurpassed. The best song in my opinion is "Not Fade Away" which sounds like a Buddy Holly tune but better. "Lost in Her Lips" and "Tongue Tied" are two other of my favorites but there are no sound bytes for them. The best test to see if you will like the album is listen to the clips for "Spider's Fence", "Cracked Up" and "Soon the Night". If you like those, they are pretty indicative of the album. "Soon the Night" is another that is especially good.

Who Are These People?.......2000-08-30

I will answer my own question - these people are quite possibly the best duo in America. These guys have been playing together for over 20 years and it shows - very together - you wonder how two guys can produce such a full sound.

My favorites are 'Not Fade Away' - a great rendition of the Buddy Holly clasic; 'The Day the Bass Players Took Over The World' - price some better speakers and watch out for this Napoleonic bass player; and 'Lucky Guy' - hilarious and touching. Buy this one.

Best Trout alblum.......1999-12-10

I think this is the best album the guys have ever produced. The only songs on it whih do not do much for me are "Ode to Big Blue" which is a not-so-hot rendition of an old Lightfoot song and "lost in her lips". Otherwise, it is a really great, free-spirited album and I encourage anyone who likes TFIA to buy this one first. For those who do not know TFIA, this is a great introduction to their music.

Some great songs mixed with some "not so hot".......1999-09-25

Most of the music on this cd does not do much for me, BUT there are 3 or 4 that are GREAT.... Ode to Big Blue, Lost in Her Lips, and, my favorite, The Day the Bass Players Took Over the World are worth the whole cd

Their first CD (but not their first Album).......1998-11-26

As a 10 year fan of Trout Fishing in America, I can unequivocally say that this is my favorite band of all time. I see them live whenever they come thru Texas.
