($8)  MARCOS FERNANDES/MIKE PRIDE- a mountain is a mammal (Accretions) 2006 [CD] Marcos Fernandes- percussion & phonography Mike Pride- drums, percussion, glockenspiel, laptop & voice "a mountain is a mammal is about human beings. Science and technology surely had a hand in its evolution but in the end, it's about people. Two people, in fact, and happenstance. Marcos Fernandes (California) and Mike Pride (New York) are two drummers. They met one rainy night in Tokyo while on their respective tours in the Spring of 2005. Collaborations ensued and the two recorded duets one sunny afternoon in New York City. The results showed that there was chemistry. And the proof is in this pressing - a collection of dialogues between two people who passed in the night and met again, days upon days later." - Accretions.com Mike's first percussion duets document! 3 pieces ranging from minimalism, to maximalism, to drumisms to harsh electronic noise. ($12)  MIKE PRIDE- the ensemble is an electronic device (Public Eyesore Records) 2006 [CD] "There are magic moments when it seems as if we are entering another dimension, both familiar and alien, simultaneously." - Downtown Music Gallery Gerald Menke- pedal steel guitar Brian Moran- electronics Jessica Pavone- viola Aaron Ali Shaikh- soprano & alto sax Mike Pride- percussion, glockenspiel, electronics, microcassette One 35 minute (chamber?) improvisation by a group as diverse and inspired as they come.

CD is dedicated to Mike's beloved cat Bobo, who was lost in his apartment fire of 2005 and features 2 pieces of his artwork that were burnt and altered by the same event. ($12)  Mike Pride's FROM BACTERIA TO BOYS- hang (Funhole Records) 2006 [CD] Darius Jones- alto sax Evan Lipson- bass Mike Pride- drums, voice, compositions A radical trio of musicians appraoching Mike Pride's newest compositional appraoch based on cellular movement, snowballing momentum and the most focused and concrete of improvisations. This has to be heard to be understood. 3 compositions based on traumatic life experiences & social critiques, whose material is based on rythmic displacement, textural formatting & blast in your face noise/thrash/chanting musics- in that order. This is the beginning of the "Statement Musics". ($8)  DEALBREAKER- James Ilgenfritz/Aaron Ali Shaikh/Mike Pride (Utech Records) 2006 [CD] Aaron Ali Shaikh- alto, soprano, sopranino saxes James Ilgenfritz- bass Mike Pride- percussion Approaching the jazz tradition like no way before. 2 beautifully abstracted standards and one improvisation.

Almost sold out. ($12)  PERIOD- s/t (Fucking A Show Releases/Funhole Records) 2006 [CD] Charlie Looker- guitar Mike Pride- drums One 24 minute piece of music that could only be a product of Pride & Looker's intense unwavering aproach to composition and improvisation which has been coalescing for the past 5 years. Sonic qualities of the most simple statements mutate and grow in complexity as the music does. This is not your friends' appraoch to minimalism. This hard, loud, focused and violent with never a searching moment. Beautifully recorded with a raw intesity to match this singular music. Guitar and drums music for the next generation. "Is this some sort of instrumental art-rock with progressive inclinations?...Each note or phrase counts. Charlie plays sharp angular chords as Mike punctuates each of the guitar phases ever so tightly. A slow motion version of the Minutemen without Mike Watt, perhaps?!?" - Downtown Music Gallery ($8)  the MPTHREE- sleep cells (Utech Records) 2006 [CD] Mary Halvorson (People, Trio Convulsant)- guitar Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantomas)- bass Mike Pride- drums, vocals, electronics & compositions "Pride and Dunn are powerfully loquacious, their interplay granular and dirty, the sound of bass and percussion alternatively crunchy, sensitive & focused on the intelligent destruction of useless quadratures, cliché-free." - Touching Extremes Debut recording by Mike Pride's longest running band. This power trio features 5 of Pride's explosive 7 moving compositions, ripping improvisations, and even a bit of harsh noise via Pride & Halvorson. This stuff is RAW & POWERFULLY SCORTCHING!

JACKSON MOORE- standards (Aletheia Records) 2004 [CD/download]Jackson Moore- alto sax Nate Wooley- trumpet Shelley Burgeon- harp Eivind Opsvik- bass Mike Pride- drums Jackson Moore is one of the most challenging and interesting band leaders in the US. Jackson's band concept is like no other, yet totally enjoyable & somehow approachable. I will leave the rest to him. "In 2004, I began to grapple with standard jazz practice, something I had not done since I was a teenager. I could no longer suppose that its persistence was the result of doctrinaire musicians in positions of influence, for it continued to thrive spontaneously in my own imagination even though I had neglected it for years in favor of more experimental gambits. It seemed to me that the invention of the solo had yielded a formally rigorous abelian system that, like language, persisted subjectively by virtue of being defined at the moment of execution and thereby satisfying cognitive constraints radically. Jazz is therefore not a style or a gamut of styles but the practice of intervening in the topology of these constraints." - Jackson Moore  MDC- magnus dominus corpus (Sudden Death Records) 2004 [CD]First new MDC record in over ten (10) years! MP joined MDC in 2003 and was fortunate enough to be part of the newly reunited band - all original members, except for Mike - and be an equal partner in this new record.

Features: Dave Dictor- vocals, X-Con Ron- guitar, Mikey Offender- bass & Mike Pride- drums, percussion, tenor sax & bird calls. Kentaro Saito (of Dynamite Club) plays lead guitar on a few tracks as well! "Mike Pride shines on the disjointed "Time Out" with a lot of fast fills and tasteful syncopation." - Paul Hansen (Dailyvault.com)  A.C. UNIT- lost property 2004 [CD]First release by Ben Lee's trio A.C. UNIT. With: Ben Lee- guitar, Jonathan Moritz- tenor saxaphone & Mike Pride- drums & percussion.
