Path of Most Resistance
2007
Secret Chiefs 3 have been running covert operations for twelve years
now. For a band that tosses their releases out into the mirage of
human civilization with little or no fanfare, it's no wonder that
Secret Chiefs 3 have remained off the music media's radar, and have
weathered innumerable musical fads without so much as a flinch.
History has shown that the bulldozers will eventually come to break up
cults like this, destroying their compound and seizing their weapons
cache. Secret Chiefs 3 have therefore recognized the need to publicly
gather some of their most universally recognizable doctrines into one
affirming document. Path of Most Resistance is just such an offering
to the public.
Unbeknownst to too many, this music is lush, gigantic, heartfelt, and
organic, and can't be written off as mere musical gymnastics. People
who may not be so geeked-out on the sophisticated hologram of ancient
Pythago-quasi-Dastgah or modern western poly-tonal temperaments going
on in this music, who judge things more on just whether it's good
listening or not, now have a clean welcome mat rolled out, and
bodyguards to usher them past the scowling elites, past the annoying
zealots, and straight to the garden where the heart of this music
beats. Culled from SC3's four main studio recordings, plus some
enhanced CD bonus material (out-of-print live tracks, obscure cover
versions, and two live videos), Path of Most Resistance will delight
new and seasoned SC3 listeners alike.
