Skalpel - Skalpel

Nu-jazz, sample, electronic, down beat

The polish duo heavily borrow from 60's onwards polish jazz during their samples, and the result is pretty good. I quite like it, a solid album, and will probably grow on me. My favourite tracks are 'Break In' and 'High'.


High


Break In

You convinced me to download it, and it is really good. Although, I don't really hear what you were talking about with the cold/icy-ness comment, most of the music sounds warm and energetic.

I like the sound of that myself. Definitely worth a go then?

Excellent stuff. Reminds me a little of Thievery Corporation. This and the other album (dream pop type of thing) I mentioned a few pages back would be very welcome :D

Yeah it's very enjoyable, but I'm not quite as amped about it as Anteater. The guitar in a lot of places doesn't create a real emotional engagement with me. Of course I've only given it one full listen so far...

I'm not super amped about it or anything, I just find it a refreshing take on contemporary prog. compared to the dozens of Pendragon and Flower Kings clones that have been popping up in the last decade. Carrying on a symphonic tradition is one thing, but when you start hearing two completely different bands sounding exactly the same....you know there's an issue.

As for my comment on the coldness; I was referring to the stark production contrasted against the music (which is rather warm/melodic as you said). :)

Made in 2003. Born in 1973. Funky ass soul jazz vibe. Fantastic (cheers demonoid)

Bob Dylan - Desire
^ I can't believe it's taken me so long to get into Dylan. Brilliant album, even if it's the only Dylan record I have. One More Cup Of Coffee's my favourite at the minute.

Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach - Painted From Memory
^Some great music to mellow out to here. It's basically soppy chamber music for grown-ups, and bits of it are therefore pretty tacky, but a few songs are as good as any Costello's sung.

David Bowie - Heathen
^Has one too many cover songs on it, but otherwise it easily stands up with the man's best work.

Television Personailities - And Don't the Kids Just Love It
^Worth it for I Know Where Syd Barret Lives alone!
