Jaga Jazzist: The Stix
by AAJ Staff
Judging by the sound of Jaga Jazzist, you wouldn't necessarily guess it was a big band. (That is, if ten players earn that classification. It works for me.) Sure, you've got your trumpet, vibes, tenor, flute, clarinet, trombone, bass, and drums. Stuff like that. But then you have to take into account the keyboards, electronics, and ...
Cinematic Orchestra: Man With A Movie Camera
by AAJ Staff
Without expounding beyond than a pure and direct statement of identity, the Cinematic Orchestra distinguishes itself by a fixation on the relationship between image and sound, and specifically how that relationship can evolve over time in live performance. TCO never plays the same thing twice, and the group's devotion to improvisation renders each viewing (literally) a ...
Bonobo: Dial M For Monkey
by AAJ Staff
In electronic music, style matters more than all else. Performers who work with computers and other digital gadgets often use the same tools; they draw from the same sources; and they fall within a relatively narrow continuum. So if you don't have your own sound, you don't have diddly squat. Two years ago Bonobo, ...
Amon Tobin: Remixes/Collaborations
by AAJ Staff
Texture is by definition a somewhat mysterious thing in music. Ideally when many layers intertwine on record it can be difficult to sort them out as individual voices, and that's exactly where the many become the one. How many? Which? You decide. Texture has always been a strength of Amon Tobin, Brazilian expatriate and electronic music ...
Super Numeri: Great Aviaries
by AAJ Staff
If you judge a band by the instruments they keep, Super Numeri is an enigma. Between the three of them, the core members of Super Numeri (Pop Levi, Karl Webb, Snap Ant) play twelve instruments; their ten guests play strings and percussion. A confusion, most certainly. Despite the futuristic graphics on the cover of ...
Antibalas: Talkatif
by AAJ Staff
In the aftermath of Fela Kuti's highlife/jazz/funk invention called Afro-beat, few groups have come close to the freshness, energy, and poignancy of his work. One reason is logistical: it can be hard to keep a large group together long enough to develop a coherent voice. Another reason is the cultural barrier that can prevent Western musicians ...
Amon Tobin: Out From Out There
by AAJ Staff
In the world of electronic music, it's too easy to get trapped in the details or, conversely, gloss them over with thick swaths of sound. (That is, of course, if you're not making the kind of mass-market dreck that the deaf can enjoy.) In the case of experimental electronica, the situation is particularly lopsided. The tools ...
