The third volume by the Guy Hamper Trio, featuring James Taylor on Hammond organ and Guy Hamper (a.k.a. Childish) on guitar, is a standout release. A highlight is the eerie 'Instrument Of Evil,' inspired by Sherlock Holmes' morphine addiction, referencing Holmes' description of his syringe and a biblical quote about corruption. The track also nods to Elmer Bernstein's The Man With the Golden Arm theme and includes a six-string bass tribute to Jet Harris of The Shadows.The album features Tom Morley on trumpet and Anna Jordanous on sax, adding rich textures. Other tracks draw from Hamper's early poetry, like 'The First Creature Is Jealousy' and 'Dog Jaw Woman,' while 'Incense Rising From A Censer' references Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov as a thematic counterpoint to 'Instrument Of Evil.' The LP blends creativity and cinematic flair, ripe for film soundtracks.
