{"product_id":"the-spanish-donkey-raoul","title":"The Spanish Donkey - Raoul","description":"\u003cp\u003eDouble vinyl LP pressing. The sound of Joe Morris' electric guitar, with distortion pedal set on stun and wah-wah pedal fully engaged, colliding with Jamie Saft's droning, microtonal organ and Mike Pride's thunderous free drumming approach to the kit creates a mind-numbing maelstrom on The Spanish Donkey's Raoul, the improvising trio's 2015 release. Raoul is the follow-up to their 2011 album XYX. Raoul consists of three throbbing tracks - the brutal 32-minute title track, the 22-minute \"Behavioral Sink\" and 16-minute Echoplex piano feature \"Dragon Fly Jones\" - that showcase The Spanish Donkey's remarkable group-think as well as the individual player's uncanny intuition on their respective instruments. More intensely cathartic, startlingly original and compelling than anything you've ever heard - imagine a mash-up of John Coltrane's Interstellar Space and Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music - Raoul stands as a hellacious manifesto by one of the most formidable improvising trios around today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45297937383729,"sku":"5060197760748","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/2854951.jpg?v=1684187313","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/the-spanish-donkey-raoul","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
