Album description

The album Increase the Dosage features guest performances by musicians such as Seamus Blake (the Mingus Big Band), Michael Shrieve (Santana) and Matthew Garrison (Herbie Hancock).

The album was released initially on 4/4/2004 but the short-run self-released pressing quickly sold out. It was released again on 9/25/05 in a web package with full album art.

The web package is a self-contained website with hyperlinks directly from the tracklist to MP3 sound files. It features 4 pages of full-color artwork by Seattle artist Shawn Wolfe. (view web package)

Excerpt from All Music Guide review by Matt Borghi:

The Revolution Void recording is excellent and shows quite a gifted blend of sounds that defy genre specification, coming together and becoming quite cohesive. This is a very eclectic recording and one that certainly rewards the listener with a palette for new and intriguing sound. This is a great disc, and one that listeners should definitely look into.

4/5 stars.

each time i listen to this i can't believe this is a free album.

the musicians are capable, competent & tight. the music is intense. each track is well made with great energy. the hybrid of break-beat electronic with fusion jazz is superb.

excellent production quality is just icing on the cake.

highly recommended

Excellent album in every respect. Well mixed with an excellent blend of instrumentation that accents the creativity of the artists.

This album is very impressive in its performance. It sounds like a record you would buy in a store. That, however, is not a mark of quality as you might know.

This album somewhat reminds me of Billy Cobhams 'Spectrum', but without the crazy drumming and totally anarchic solo. This record is slickly produced, no fuzz, just pure slick jazz fusion.

The tracks are different in style and differ somewhat in tempo (not much however). But every track is built the same way: Electro drums, real drums on top, some instrument, pad or piano to make way for some jazzy harmonics, and a solo. Every song is very slick and impressively delivered. However it's like you hear the same song over and over. Therefore I have no favorite track.

The cover really has nothing to do with the music at all. It's not at all druggy or even close to revolutionary. Still, I think it's a good lounge record and a very promising production for the future of free music.

If this band would perform live, they'd probably be wanting to play at a cool bar where people don't want to stay and listen for too long. This would do better in a cool lounge where people stop to have a drink and smoke and talk.

To sum it up: slickly produced but would probably do better as background music in a bar or in some "cool" movie.

good sound in line with half 90ies early 2000 european sound
u can find some refering to the first london breakbeat scene and differet mellow
influences from the actual norvegian electronic scene ...
i think this is a good cd ideal for travelling in your car
sorry for english

Sometimes a band comes along that really doesn't resemble anything you've like *ever* heard before in your entire life. This album is one of those things. If I must categorize this album I think I'd have to go with something like; "the way jazz should have evolved - and what techno, house and trance should have been" - or something...

Just *brilliant*. But I do suspect that a lot of people will find it hard to listen to. I suspect it might be for the "specially interested". This is one of those albums you'd either think is the worst thing ever heard or one of the best things you've ever heard, but there's NO WAY you can ever listen to it without being somewhat provoked and touched - either positively or negatively, which I think is the very definition of art!

The combination of Hammond Organs, synthetic sounds, really organic stuff like that sax hitting the nerve carrying over everything else and that weird (nonchalant) piano, driving bass hard-hitting drums and etc really puts together a whole of what you'd never think was able to "put together"...

If you decide to try it out, give them a couple of shots at convincing you - or a to say it another way listen to MORE than one tune - since this stuff really needs to be taken seriously before being able to create a truthful opinion about it...

For me this is a clear 10er ...
Beautiful! Provoking! Really #@£$&%% weird and truly breathtaking!

Though what it exactly is I've got no clue what so ever about...!
