Well mixed, solid performances

I don't understand why the expectations for free music are so incredibly low. Just because the artists do not directly require to be paid, it doesn't automatically make it incredibly special when it sounds good.

Well, I suppose this one does, but it's easy for a team of world class players to win the district league. My standards for music are unfriendly high, and I'm not afraid to say something sucks, especially when it's free. When it is free, I expect it to be better than the stuff you can buy in a record store. That is how I try to write my own music as well.

That said, the mixing is beautiful, the performance is professional and relaxing. I'm not all the way through the album, so far I can say that it's aurally pleasing, but it's certainly not exciting. I miss a bit of edginess and toughness as a contrast. But that's how Jazz is, I suppose ;)

The music has a sort of lounge, relaxing... good background. It steps out occasionally. Reminds me a little of Portishead without the edge.

This album leaves a very mixed impression with me. There are things which shine outrightly, others which appear out of place and boring.

The tunes on the album appear as a mixture of (mostly programmed?) drums, electric bass, keys (mostly electric piano), some sax lead voices and a granish of synth and arpeggiator textures, electronic percussive noises and electronic percussion.

There are things which are musical, clever, capturing - the combination of a simple, yet deceptive drum beat, combined with a counterpoint of programmed percussion, changing synth arpeggios, and an outstanding use of the bass guitar (does the artist play bass as his main instrument?). Then there are sax and keyboard leads which...well, basically, suck.

With that combination, I simply don't know where to put this album. The disturbing (in a negative way) solo breaks make it unusable as some lounge music, which the rest of the art (including great sonic production) would otherwise hint at. Then again, as a "more than lounge" (electronic) jazz record, the absence of capturing melodies and lead breaks makes it a no-go.

With that, even the nice cover art can't really save the show...as I said, I'm torn apart by this album, hence the rating of "dead center".

Este álbum é muito bom, mostrando como o jazz e os timbres e efeitos eletrônicos podem criar uma música contagiante e criativa.
Os músicos são muito bons, improvisações geniais.
Pra quem buscar compor música neste estilo, é bom analisar essas gravações com o ouvido atento.
