AllMusic[2]

Electricity is a 1994 album by New Zealand pianist Peter Jefferies.[3] It was released on the Ajax Records label.[4] The album includes reworkings of previous Jefferies tracks "Wined Up" and "Crossover" (from a 1993 7" recorded with Stephen Kilroy).

It was reissued via Superior Viaduct in 2015.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

Trouser Press wrote that "Jefferies concentrates on the more melodious (if somber) end of things for most of the record, an approach that crystallizes beautifully on an album-ending cover of Barbara Manning’s 'Scissors.'”[6]
