You guys aren't afraid to use a little dissonance where it can be useful to advance to the cause of your art.
Wow. Your lead singer is good! All the playing is first rate. This one goes to the top of my list.
I love this stuff! Very clever! The overall production quality is totally 2008, but it has the feel of The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour" or the White Album. There aren't that many people that could pull off something this good.
Got to hand it to Ben Wilkins! He is a first rate musical talent, sophisticated lyricist and songwriter. Take a listen to Sentimental Famine. It's a song about a couple that no longer have feelings for each other. It would be a cheap way out to simply make a song about the emotions of the present, but Wilkins tells a story, handles it delicately, and the overall emotional impact is remarkable.
I agree with George the Flea's point that there is a lot of seeming repetition, the driving piano primarily, but there is also a good deal of variety. The overall jazzy sound is enjoyable, you might just want to break the album up and listen to a few songs at a time.
Remix? A Beatles party. There's a lot of material left to mine in the Beatles library. It's a rich vein, and Phon has struck the motherlode. Thanks for a unique experience.
Hey! Another great album! I've downloaded most of your music and burned a few CDs, and you are on my favorite artist list.
One question though, were did you get that suit? I was told that it got lost at the dry cleaner back in 1985!

Seriously though, if you'd like to jam sometime, I'd be happy to cook up some skronky sounds for you.
The singer is hot, and the harp is smokin'!!!
These guys are from Madrid, as in Spain? The singer's enunciation is good enough that I can understand most of the lyrics (guessing English is not his first language), and he can really deliver a tune. The harp is the best I've heard on Jamendo... he can hold his own with any band anywhere in the world for that matter!
Not old style blues... a little more modern swing... but I swear, these guys sound better than most of the blues bands around Boston.
If I didnt know better, I'd swear I was in Kansas City drinking beer and eating BBQ...
This album has one of the best covers I've ever seen on Jamendo!
Although some of the music is pretty bad, it isn't all that terrible. Well, actually, it is extremely terrible.
Great cover though...
This album is reminiscent of Frank Zappa's "Jazz from Hell" if Frank were only still alive and had access to better electronics. Where this deviates from Zappa's greatness is that it is not nearly as unpredictable... there are not as many surprises.
This is a great effort none the less. Orhand is a musician to be recokened with in his own right.
What is the story of this incredible music? Who are Oikos and C-utter? How did they make this? Why did they make this?
This might be what infinity sounds like... right here, right now...
I wasn't expecting to hear something like this. At first listen, I thought it sounded like a real band performing somewhere. But nah, can't be... it's ambient electronic music, I thought. Must've just added a lot of reverb to give it a room sound, I thought. Was I ever fooled. Read the story behind Throng. This isn't just another "composer" diddling Garage Band in his bedroom. These are real musicians playing real music. I've had this playing all day and love it. It's going into my CD collection.
This has been a favorite album of mine since I first heard it some time ago. It is good to see it being made more widely available on Jamendo. Thanks from a fan!
