About this album

  • Updated: 25/06/2008
  • "Detached” is the third studio release and the first with a fresh new line-up. It resumes the story of “On Time” and “Retro Future”, but remains unique in style. New, uncompromising compositions with a strong message add up to the sense of greater energy and seven new songs treasure more than meets the eye (ear, that is) on the first glance
  • Jazoo presents itself in a line-up which brings new freshness and positive energy to such demanding music. Their genre is hard to define as members have origins and influences in different styles of music, the nature of which can be sensed in their compositions. Many critics have categorized them as ‘jazz’, but they prefer the term ‘improvised music’, which, besides jazz, incorporates various elements of ethno, electronic, funk, fusion, ambiental and nu-jazz music.
  • Detached” was recorded in Austria/Carinthia in Pachlar Record Studio with Michael Vavti and Iztok Žiberna and in Ljubljana (GVIDO Music Mgmt) with the keyboarder Tomaž and the priceless advice of producer Franci Zabukovec. Master tape was done by the flawless Martin Žvelc. The cover design was realized by Srđan Prodanović.
  • Since their beginnings, Jazoo are releasing their records under the patronage of Membrane Records, based in Zürich. Their new release “Detached” will print out in 5000 copies. There is no classical distribution in Slovenia, but you can get your hands on the album by contacting info@gvido.si,+386 (31) 34 36 30.

Yes its jazzy but not only. This is an excellent fusion of many styles (the vocals are sometimes used in instrumental way, and its perfect with the music) Nice voice anyway. Well its a professionnal work and the sound is great. Nothing to say more :) except : THANKS for sharing !

au moment ou j'ecris ce texte je n'ai pas encore fini d'exouter cette album mais il faut que je le dise ... j'adore ! un jazz doux et "trippant " ca ne resemble a rien de ce que j'ai entendu jusqu'a maintenant l'enregistrement ne bavent pas a une seul seconde ... les sonorité sont clair et limpide on en oublierai meme qu'on ecoute du MP3 !

Tambouille hybride

Cette tambouille jazz hybride ne me plait pas des masses. Les compositions de ce groupe sont pour le moins étranges, la plupart des thèmes semblent intégralement samplés ('Vöcklabruck', 'Month of Sundays' entre autres). En outre lorsque ceux-ci tentent le métissage, on est souvent proche du collage plus ou moins adroit. S'ajoutent à l'ensemble certains arrangements franchement criards ou dépourvu de nuances (l'abominable dernière partie de 'Brown and Yellow Thoughts' ou les plages variétés à 2 balles sur 'Timeliness'), des solos pour le moins poussifs, ainsi qu'une voix atteinte de défaillance que de multiples effets d'écho tentent de camoufler. La métamorphose de 'Ballerina' en tube électro (plan fusion-démago cousu de fil blanc) n'est pas non plus d'un goût exquis malgré un intermède de flute traversière qui évoque momentanément Quest. Si 'Dawn Mirage' et 'Forgive Me' ne sont pas désagréable, ce n'est pas le cas du reste. Il vaut mieux ressortir ses vieux vinyls de jazz-rock (Return to Forever, Weather Report, Larry Coryell, etc... )

High quality music. The songs have feeling and a good diversity of sounds and moods. Very good indeed! First song, Vöcklabruck, struck me, so nice. And the Dawn Mirage is very touching. Congrats!
