Pace Yourself is an album by saxophonist Tim Berne's Caos Totale, recorded in 1990 and released on the JMT label.[1][2]
Reception
[edit]The AllMusic review by Brian Olewnick states, "Pace Yourself finds Berne's Caos Totale sextet exploring his rich, multi-layered compositions in depth and at length. Berne's pieces, especially his longer, episodic ones, tend to take unexpected twists and turns; you'll find very little of the traditional "head-solos-head" song structure here. Though most of his themes have a blues base, they emerge and disappear in conformity with their own logic, not a pre-existing formula".[3]
