Jaga Jazzist (also known as Jaga) is a Norwegian experimental jazz band, that rose to prominence when the BBC named their second album, A Livingroom Hush (Smalltown Supersound/Ninja Tune), the best jazz album of 2002.[1][2][3]

Awesome band was listening to them on Spotify just now and they have also collaborated with Motorpsycho awesome.

Elephant9 is a Norwegian progressive/neo-psychedelic/jazz-rock trio which formed in 2006 under the name Storløkken/Eilertsen/Lofthus, for the members of the band, namely Ståle Storløkken, Nikolai Eilertsen and Torstein Lofthus, but changed the name to Elephant9 after the first year together.



Awesome band

New find for me that, I think some here would appreciate them too.
Supersilent is a Norwegian improvisational collective commonly referred to, in Europe at least, as a supergroup. Their completely improvised music weds a 21st century approach to free jazz to ambient and industrial electronics. Their many albums, whose titles are only a chronological series of numbers according to release, are easily identified by a dark, brooding yet airy intensity that continually evolves in texture, timbre, and dynamic, best signified by the 2001 release 5. Given its members busy individual careers, they record and tour only intermittently, coming together when they have a new strategy to pursue such as on 2013's 12. 12 experimented with harmonic themes derived from cinema scores and delivered in dark, eerie atmospherics. Supersilent began as an impromptu jam at the 1997 Bergen Jazz Festival between master trumpeter Arve Henriksen, tape experimenter Helge Sten (who also goes by Deathprod for solo material), Jarle Vespestad on drums, and Stale Storløkken on keyboards. The group decided to continue to play together in Helge Sten's studio and recorded endless hours of tape, eventually spliced into 1998's 1-3, a three-CD collection of wild, percussive free jazz with flourishes of Aphex Twin-like electronics. Integral to the band from this point on was their desire to exist only as a performing group -- they never "write" songs or practice, and barely even speak to one another outside of gigs. This release, like all others, is without overdubs and has minimal production. On 4, the group incorporated the influence of fellow Rune Grammofon labelmate Arne Nordheim, an electro-acoustic composer whose dark-tinged experiments are studio-controlled kin to Supersilent. The uncreatively named 5 was compiled from over 30 hours of live recordings at performances in Oslo, London, and Bologna in 2001. Here, Henriksen's strong skills come to the fore while more traditional jazz elements take hold in the din of noise. The album 6, with a focus on less intense material, was issued in 2003 to almost universal critical acclaim. It was followed two years later by 7, a DVD of a concert that took place in 2004. Critically, it was treated as a new recording and another step on the band's sonic journey. That year, Supersilent played at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, while Storløkken, a member of guitarist/composer Terje Rypdal's Skywards band, convinced the rest of Supersilent to perform with the famed musician at 2007's Moldejazz Festival. The group was also busy recording. Cut over eight sessions, the album 8 was released the same year. Originally purported to be a double release that combined 8 and 9, it was issued as a single recording. In early 2009, Vespestad left the band to participate more fully in other longstanding musical relationships including membership in Tord Gustavesen's quartet, and as drummer in Norwegian vocalist and songwriter Silje Nergaard's group.   Supersilent continued as a trio and opened up their sound even more. The issued 9, their first trio recording, near the end of the year. It featured all three members playing Hammond B-3 organs in a live concert setting recorded only months before. They also began work on a new studio album that continued into 2010. Working with a more organic process of incorporating more acoustically oriented sounds, the full-length 10 appeared in August. They released 11 simultaneously, a vinyl-only album that had been the original second half of 8. 10 was dubbed even more accessible than 6. After touring and work on solo and collaborative projects (including several festival appearances with former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones), Henriksen, Storløkken, and Sten reconvened in the studio in late 2013. They emerged with 12, a set that wove together almost cinematic harmonic themes with dark, eerie atmospheres. In 2016, the band announced that they had signed with Norwegian label Smalltown Supersound, and in August, issued the preview single "13.9" to the internet. The album 13 followed a month later. Two years later, after deciding there were many "colors" left to explore, Supersilent re-entered the studio with Deathprod as producer and engineer attempting to push their "composition in the moment" M.O. to transcend boundaries they hadn't yet discovered and emerged with 14 in the fall of 2018. ~ Daphne G.A.

I’m having a really awesome time listening to music on Spotify, Bandcamp & YouTube and Spotify as thrown together a few curve balls that have had me watering at the possibility that the new musicians might actually take me into another dimension mindlessly moving asteroid planes, I’m truly excited at the prospect’s potential within each of the newsier musicians that know lay ahead of me. Add in the fact that some of these musicians collectively combined with each other they’re prospering me into a new solar system from the perspective of what little, I’ve heard already mouthwatering mayhem of exquisite musical delights. I think all my birthdays and Christmas’s have come at ONCE its. Truly a beautiful wrapped up gifts of joyous wonderous superior supersonic flight of motionless supernova cosmic rays of musical energy Sorry about gibbering on and on about my latest findings but I’m surely blown away by what I’ve heard. Sheer curiosity and the knowledge of sheer imagination and genius by the musicians behind the music. I’m truly happy HAPPINESS at this moment in time truly blessed.

Here’s some more favourite musicians:

Stereolab are an Anglo-French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990. Led by the songwriting team of Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier, the group's music combines influences from krautrock, lounge and 1960s pop music, often incorporating a repetitive motorik beat with heavy use of vintage electronic keyboards and female vocals sung in English and French. Their lyrics have political and philosophical themes influenced by the Surrealist and Situationist movements. On stage, they play in a more feedback-driven and guitar-oriented style. The band also draw from funk, jazz and Brazilian music, and were one of the first artists to be dubbed "post-rock". They are regarded among the most innovative and influential groups of the 1990s.


The Orb are an English electronic music group founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and Jimmy Cauty. Known for their psychedelic sound, the Orb developed a cult following among clubbers "coming down" from drug-induced highs.[1] Their influential 1991 debut album The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld pioneered the UK's nascent ambient house movement,[2] while its UK chart-topping follow-up U.F.Orb represented the genre's commercial peak.[3


Spacemen 3 were an English neo-psychedelia space rock band, formed in 1982 in Rugby, Warwickshire, by Peter Kember and Jason Pierce, known respectively under their pseudonyms Sonic Boom and J Spaceman. Their music is known for its brand of "trance-like neo-psychedelia" consisting of heavily distorted guitar, synthesizers, and minimal chord or tempo changes.[1]

Talk Talk were an English band formed in 1981, led by Mark Hollis (vocals, guitar, piano), Lee Harris (drums), and Paul Webb (bass). The group achieved early chart success with the synth-pop singles "Talk Talk" (1982), "It's My Life", and "Such a Shame" (both 1984) before moving towards a more experimental approach informed by jazz and free improvisation in the mid-1980s,[5] pioneering what became known as post-rock.[3] Talk Talk achieved widespread critical success in Europe and the UK with the singles "Life's What You Make It" (1985) and "Living in Another World" (1986); in 1988, they released their fourth album Spirit of Eden, which was critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful.

Bark Psychosis are an English post-rock band/musical project from east London formed in 1986. They were one of the bands that Simon Reynolds cited when coining "post-rock" as a musical style in 1994, and are thus considered one of the key bands defining the genre.


Tortoise is an American post-rock band formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1990.[1] The band incorporates krautrock, dub, minimal music, electronica and jazz into their music, a combination sometimes termed "post-rock". Tortoise have been consistently credited for the rise of the post-rock movement in the 1990s.

New band and what I’ve heard is stunning:


Pram are a British post-rock band formed in Birmingham, England in 1988 by Rosie Cuckston (vocals, keyboards), Matt Eaton (guitar), Andy Weir (drums), and Samantha Owen (bass).[1] Subsequent lineups have changed frequently, most notably with Cuckston's departure in 2008.[1] Their electronic pop sound, described by AllMusic as "equally quaint and unsettling,"[1] employs unconventional instruments and draws on stylistic influences such as krautrock, exotica, and dub.[5]

Electrelane were an English indie rock band, formed in Brighton in 1998 by Verity Susman and Emma Gaze. The band comprised Susman, Gaze, Mia Clarke, and Ros Murray. Their music drew from a wide range of influences including Neu!, Stereolab, Sonic Youth, and the Velvet Underground. Although the band had strong feminist and political views in their personal lives, they generally preferred to not communicate that directly to their fans or through their music;[1] one exception is their inclusion of the protest song "The Partisan," which they began playing while on tour in the United States during the months preceding the 2004 Presidential election. The band, when playing live, had a reputation for a focused show that minimised audience interaction and rarely included more than one encore.

We wee bit more than the usual start to my morning routine lol. I’m really enjoying the new Flamborough Head album. It’s a fantastic start to the day. It’s stopping me from going down the over thinking routine that’s the usual route if there’s nothing better to be doing that is. Oh and showing my appreciation for some old and new musicians who, I’ve added to my post list here. I’m not sure what the rest of the day will bring along but it’ll probably be fun anyway, anyhow and anywhere…
