Review by Raymond Crandall

Live At Soundscape is an album by Material, a musical collective founded by bassist and producer Bill Laswell. This album was recorded during a live performance at Soundscape in New York City in 1996 and features an eclectic mix of genres including jazz, funk, and rock.

The album opens with the track "Black Light," which begins with a funky bassline and gradually builds into a frenzied jam session with saxophone and guitar solos. The energy of the performance is palpable and the musicians feed off each other's improvisations.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Mantra," which features Indian-inspired percussion and haunting vocals, and "Words of Advice," a spoken-word piece by William S. Burroughs set to a pulsing electronic beat.
