Still owing Gramavison a recording, Previte joined forces again with his Empty Suits band and recorded a work that was so different from the previous Empty Suits record (big surprise) that Gramavision refused to release it. This prompted his departure from the label. Eventually coming out in 1994 on DIW/Japan, “Slay the Suitors,” (title courtesy of a chapter in Homer’s “Odyssey”) is in many ways his “underground” record, perhaps the most obscure of them all, if you don’t count “Pull To Open.” A hazy, sometimes quiet, very electronic outing (confirming Previte’s fascination with electronic music in earnest) this CD is imported and extremely rare.

“Previte introduces a brilliant device: a reverberating Hammond chord that backs the soloists for an entire five and a half minute segment. The tension produced by that act alone is a study in seduction.” —Downbeat

Try, just try and find this record.
