YOG I - PITCHIPOY

The prolific saxophonist sticks solely with the alto sax on this album, and has almost left Zeuhl behind other than a few reminiscent passages and the presence of brilliant Zao drummer Jean-My Truong. There's lots of programming involved, mostly jazz fusion throughout. To be honest, not easy to be engaged with all in one go, there's only so much solo saxophone improvisation you can take! I wouldn't pick out many tracks as highlights but Avoda is decent, as is Raspoutine as a good example of the electronic/programmed element of Seffer's style of Jazz (and with a bit less Sax!). A lot of it is quite atonal, which is great when used right, but I think there's just a bit too much of it here
