They're at it again!
Margin of Safety is on the (supposedly) final stages of making their first composed album. Meanwhile they keep recording rehearsals and mainly the jam/improv parts of them.
Where's the Station? is meaner than its predecessor. The sound is stripped to bare bones as the guitarist and bass player both use a Musicman sixty-five amp, a beast of terror in its unforgiving nature and tonal bliss. The customed kit of Ludwig drums blast and roll in precise definition.
"Where's the Station?" is the question that pops up at every improvisation, either shouted out in panic and fear, or just as an thought to keep you on your toes and ready to switch gears.
The jams are recorded with a Røde NT3 stereopair.

You know, it's always a pleasure to hear from you guys. This new album is a great continuation of the debut one, same excellent level of playing, same 60's and 70's references : Pink Floyd, Crimson, Ten Years Afters, etc... - Is it Pink Yet has even something of the Doors during their L.A. Woman Era. The guitar inferno at the end of Disco Pneumonia is a real bliss for the ears, if I didn't know it was improvised, I would say that it's a very well written piece of organised mayhem. Very climatic. To put the cherry on the top, even if it's a "live in studio" recording, the production is really excellent, and can easily match any of the most minutiously produced stuff one can find on Jamendo. I'll definetely be waiting for your first album of composed music.
Płytę wybrałem przypadkowo - poza gatunkiem zachęciła mnie też okładka. Zacząłem słuchać w tle i im dłużej leciała sobie ta muzyka, tym bardziej zacząłem zwracać na nią uwagę. Na tej płycie dużo się dzieje i bije z niej dużo energii, która jak na improwizację jest jednak dosyć zborna i zdyscyplinowana.
"Where's the Station?" wydaje mi się o wiele ciekawsza od ich debiutanckiego "Gonzo Jazz". Już czekam wobec tego na ich kolejną płytę.
Die Instrumente treten meist in ihrem Jazzigen Charakter hervor (Schlagzeug, Bass, E-Gitarre). Es gibt aber auch ganz klar Lieder, in denen sie mit der Gitarre ganz interessant in Richtung Progressive gehen. Prgressive Jazz eben ;) Wer Jazz mag und dann noch etwas Rock in Richtung Progressive, wird dieses Album sehr mögen!
questo si ce è un album intenso....bello...sicuramente non per tutti a anche per chi non ascolta il genere, con un pò di impegno , si può ascoltare la giusta sonorità da relax sul divano....
Regresando a mi adolescencia...Siempre habrá frescura en la improvisación (?)...Excelente.
Nice sounding album. I especially like the bass. A bit too uninspired guitar playing though. Give the bass more room is my opinion. Not really progressive according to me, more random pluckin.
Gostei, obrigada! Enviei para o Facebook. Uma bela semana e um abraço. M.I.
cool,chaleureux,tranquille,etc...
bref terrible...

Really good, guys. Im a guitar player myself and we do the same stuff with my band (it is a strat, isnt's it?).
Cool improvs, nice sound, very seventies, the way I like it!!!.
Congrats
Chitarra eccessiva e confusa, a tratti fastidiosa e rindondante... Questione di gusti, non me ne vogliano i fan, ma non ho apprezzato questo album! In ogni caso un applauso all'impegno!
JAMENDO: la rivoluzione musicale inizia da te!
