I find it very hard to explain to friends and colleagues why Kaki KIng is my favourite artist.... the closest that I can come is that this improvisation is true music of the mind, or music of the many possible futures, a scientist approaching that moment of eureka, yet not quite reaching it. And that sublime bit at the end, Christ, it's like coming face to face with nature, or mortality, realization that everyone dies sometime but you're still alive...

I'm slightly tipsy, sorry...

@2558465 How dare you? This is one of the greatest guitarists ever. Find her song, Play With Pink Noise, or Gay Sons of Lesbian Mothers.

SEXY!!

Its a ballsy move to do improv for encore, but Kaki is the definition of ballsy, and definitely pulled it off!

[offtheworld]

because she uses simple basic chords for playing, check antoine dufour, and comapre^^

@aforestsomewhere well dear fellow, if bein tipsy gets you so amazingly close to truth..well..NEVER STOP DRINKING THEN! XD i dig every single vowel of your comment with teh strenght of thousand galaxies! i too think theres no best way to get close to Natural Ancestral Sound PErfection than letting the drive go and let it lead you to teh extasis of senses (and no..im not doped! XD)

[nicksesta231289]

@GK456html becouse her sound is muzak

[79barkingspider]

I can see and hear why some people could find this boring, so stop trashing them. I think it's one of the most fascinating, creative pieces I have ever heard, but what the fuck do I know!

[SHOWTIMEJOHNNYPALBLU]

Uh, interesting omnium gatherum . . . Showtime Johnny Pal

[wtfhah]

@aforestsomewhere not to all futures!

@JAKEIZBAWM I know I'm 11 months late and all... but shit, explaining Primus would be on a whole new level.
