| 4.0 excellent | Bedex | December 5th 20 |
In my opinion, far superior to its follow up. The album throws its weirder tracks early on, which might deter some, but for the bulk of it it is all in all excellent but somewhat conventional jazz with great flow between tracks - to a point where you quite often don't feel that it is a new track. It also alternates nicely between a select few calmer, softer tracks, and bouncier things. 1-3 feature sometimes unusual vox, and it takes a bit of getting used to. 1 is nice but fairly standard vox aside, 2 brings more dissonances and some dreaminess and bluesy piano. 3 is the first peak of the album and a jam with its choirey intro, which marks pretty much the last of these vocal bits as the rest of the track and album is more instrumental. I recognised 4's melody (probably from the other alb that I jammed before this?) but it is quite fun and big band high energy similarly to 5. 6 is softer with flutes etc, then 7 is more energetic again but with a bit of a disappointing conclusion. 8 is softer and transitions nicely into the superb piano on 9 before the track eventually brings back the energy. I do like that the conclusion track - which btw is advertised as live but isn't really noticeably different from the rest - brings back a little more of dissonant spice to conclude things. It is just a little too long, which turns a solid 4.2 into a final 4.15
