CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Nils Petter Molvaer is known throughout the world for his trumpet and sleek electronic compositions. His use of electronics and his trumpet stylings are signatures to his work, which at times is sombre, dreamlike and introspective, while at others, vibrant and bombastic. This album takes the listener to realms both familiar and strange, through compositions that are sure to entice fans of jazz and electronic music alike. This is a rare opportunity for the electro jazz head. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSit down, eyes closed Markus Beeyt | Turlock, CA | 11/27/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "I found this album browsing for jazz... Whoa! I like it. Sometimes a bit tedious for the impatient listener, this music is best enjoyed in darkness while sitting still, or driving alone down a country road during a storm. This is a "mood" selection of tunes, spooky and full of pathos. Nils Molvaer plays his trumpet in sustained, echoic notes, sometimes "outside" the key signature and chord progression, but in a way that pulls you IN. He calls upon his trumpet, although typically a bright and flashy instrument, to descend to the depths of a sad viola in a pedantic classical piece composed in a minor key. Drums and deep bass throb rhythmically throughout the selections with just enough variation to keep one interested and alert for the next change.
I recall Pink Floyd's "Echoes" or some of Eno's music that create a similar state for the listener. You will like this electro-jazz disc. It grows on you. Buy it." |
