Although Eddie Prévost and John Butcher shared the stage at Derek Bailey's 1990 London Company Week they didn't perform together again until March 2005 - in duo at Goldie's Oligarch in the East London Foundry. Eddie chose to work with tam-tam, bowed cymbals and drum resonators - as heard on their CD interworks.
Additionally, they have recorded in trio with John Tilbury - Eddie's partner for over 20 years in AMM.
In 2009 this trio was joined by Christian Wolff and Ute Kanngiesser for a concert on London's Freedom of the City festival. This music was released as Sounding Music by AMM.

Cover from "The Prospect of Whitby" by Terry Ellis.

Saxophonist Butcher and percussionist Prévost are not the kind of musicians to turn in substandard performances, but even by their high standards this is a remarkably compelling disc. The recording by engineer Steve Lowe renders the protesting metallic wail of Prévost's tam-tam and Butcher's disparate whispers, squelches, and immaculately joined multiphonic excursions as vivid as sunlight in the tropics.
Signal to Noise - Bill Meyer
