Beskrivelse

Oversat af

Rotoscopeis an experimental jazz act featuring the Norwegian musician andproducer Andreas Mjos, also know from the instrumental jazz actJaga Jazzist. Great Curves is Rotoscopes debut album and it mixeselectronica, jungle drums and genuine jazz-based improvisation, aswell as some pop song elements and the end result doesnt soundcontrived or superficial. This alone is remarkable considering howmany times the jazz-meets-electronica hybrid approach has beentried unsuccessfully over the years. Beyond that, Great Curves isenjoyable from a pure listening standpoint, doing a nice job ofmixing together its noisier and more experimental components withits prettier, more easygoing ones. There is plenty of variety onthis album from one track to the next. Parts of it (e.g., TheBogota Sub and Pink Soda) sound like sophisticated European loungejazz given a liberal remix treatment, while other tracks presentthe jazz and electronic elements as equals: Cooks Whip, Music GoesOn pairs an extended tenor saxophone solo with a diced-up hip-hopbeat, and Noiserock Orkesterissa pits a fusion-ish electric pianosolo against an active drum’n’bass backdrop. (Keep in mind thatthis is a Norwegian group, so the word jazz does not implyblues-based; the harmonies are much softer around the edges thanmost American straight-ahead jazz, although without ever crossingthe line into syrupy smooth jazz territory.) Carpet Illusions,which features singer Christine Sandtorv’s wispy lead vocalsfloating over a bed of keyboards and electronic static noises, isthe closest thing to a song in the traditional sense. Despite thevariety, there is a good track-to-track flow throughout the album,as well as a consistent, cool-headed mood that gives a sense ofunity to it all.
