European avant-jazz group in their nearly 60 year history!


I know them and love them. Their first album was actually going to be my next little write up, but I like both of those albums as well.

Thanks for sharing Janz and others.. Like what I listened to so far, unfortunately I have nothing to contribute here.

Mikrokolektyw—Revisit (2010)

Like rostasi mentioned, these guys are a duo (“Microcollective”, get it?) formed from the ashes of Robotobibok. Though there’s a little stylistic overlap between the two bands, Mikrokolektyw certainly have their own distinct sound. That sound is somewhat minimalistic, usually focused on percussion and trumpet with some electronic flourishes. This particular album is isn’t quite as minimalistic as the two rostasi posted though, and I think it finds a nice middle ground between Robotobibok and their later material.

This track, “Rocket Street”, is atypically dense for them, but also one of my favorites of theirs:



This one, “Lipuko”, is more low-key and typical of the rest of the album:

Definitely getting some post-rock vibes from that last one.

Do you mean the Mikrokolektyw album or from the last video in the Robotobibok post? Because I've always thought that Robotobibok track was super post rock-ish.

Honestly, a lot of this stuff is pretty post rock-ish. Even Jaga Jazzist delves into that territory every once in a while.
