Free Music Review: Jazzed up break beats
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a gem. Pure and simple.
The smoky lounge atmosphere of "Durian" introduces you to its quiet melancholic tones of a jazz based ensemble and touches with varying intensity of downtempo, Bristol sound ("Channel 1 suite" loop a la Portishead), and nervous break beats with live like drumming. The trumpet has either sad distilled tones ("Durian") or is nervous ("Channel..."). Haunting female vocals have this far away feel ("Diabolus") or a stronger appeal, more demanding (N.Simone impression in "Durian"). The percussion is energetic (ride cymbal getting tougher as "Channel..." goes) or includes playful soft rim shots ("Ode to the Big Sea" with it's intro classic Brubeck style). "Diabolus" has a sustained background brass which creates an impression of questioning notes which is reinforced by the loop of the bass.
It's all skillfully blended and is always sustained with an almost dangerous feel easily recognizable in underground modern day trip hop et al. But the gorgeous classic references of the edgy Blue note years makes it audible again and again just like the stubborn loops which create the texture of its density. The drawling voices are countered by dynamic and true to life drumming explosions. It will certainly satisfy curious ears and jazz amateurs who wish to extend their audio portfolio to other areas, especially for those broken in to hard bop and tolerant towards talented groups like Massive Attack or Skalpel. In all it's dreamy but challenging audio spiel...it has that quality of unexpectedly weaving the immediately agreeable of warm jazz with the shamelessly rebellious of this modern day's electronic risk taking endeavors.
It's a jazzed up version of break beats...or maybe the reverse.
