can you tell me what it sounds like please?
 
 
 
 
Listening to Fromuz!!
 
 
 
 
 
It is all acoustic and fairly gentle in most spots. But as would be expected, technically brilliant.  If you are familiar with each independant of each other, you will find that each brings their classic sound to the table and mesh them quite elegantly. They do an outstanding cover of Brazil.

Ultralyd - Conditions For a Piece of Music (AMM meets Supersilent....)

Not a particularly a  new sub-genre but of minor interest. That Steve Lawson/Theo Travis album mentioned is one of the most obvious recent examples. However, have to say the form dates back to at least the 60's and some of then so-called psychedelic jazz, e.g.  improv jazz flute being played in the Taj Mahal - the musician's name escapes me at the moment, might it be Tim Weisberg????

I just ordered Double Talk from the website as well as the Cipher project which is like dark electronic fusion or somethin dunno it just read good!!!  i got that over the duo work 'cause there was percussion in it but i'll def check that one out later........
 
Let us know what you think of Travis's new album

got it in the mail this morning...........so i put Cipher's Elemental Forces cd in the car and took Double Talk to the office.
 
Cipher - Elemental Forces (not as 'dark' as the review made out to be, but nice, chilled ambient minimal fusion utilising loops & electronics, bit in the vein of Steve Tibbets with a more pastoral vibe)
 
Theo Travis - Double Talk (excellent jazz rock with great ambient passages esp track 2.......yes i can hear the slightly proggish influences in there.......nice!)
 
thanks for the recommnedation!  and how was Supersilent 5? hehehhe any plans for more from those Viking greats?

Absorbing two album from Eivind Aarset, including (critically acclaimed) latest  - in comparison Supersilent 5  is considerably more of a challenge. One problem is that I've been seeking quick-to-grab tracks for the radio show and SS5 on first hearing doesn't immediately provide - and hence it is getting less attention than it deserves (hence an album that will get played and appreciated in a few weeks time when there is more time to relax and listen for my own sake).
 
In the meanwhile, I've picked up a heavily recommended album by the Fusenet (jazzrock fusion discussion group) site: T Latvitz's School Of The Arts. Semi-unplugged jazz fusion by pianist Latvitz, with Frank Gambale, John Patitucci, Dave Weckl, plus Steve Morse and Jerry Goodman guesting separately on two or three tracks. Oddly only Patitucci appears to go electric on a couple of tunes.

ah yes i understand.  Actually Supersilent 6 is the most accessible and melodic album thus far.  I could imagine being able to play the pieces esp track 2 on radio.

http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=12774 check out Supersilent 6.  Glacial, sound-trackish, their most ECM-like album w/ hints of postrock.  
 
Now listening to:
 
Gamalon - s/t (jazz rock from '87....got that cheesy 80s production but hey i like!!!)

this has to come back. what with all these fusion polls and such, this thread MUST come back. anyone heard Zappa's new album "Zappa\Wazoo" yet? it has the Grand Wazoo playing live, so basically it's the most serious Zappa Fusion ever.

other than that im chillin on some Mingus Ah Um. such a classic album.

Still waiting from my ordered copy to arrive. Good noises being made about it by American purchasers on the Fusenet website, so thought I would take the risk, especially with Nels Cline involved.
