| Matsson trades in the intimate rawness of his previous efforts for a more lush instrumental approach, losing a little of his charm in the process. The songwriting is much the same, but due to the instrumentation, don't sound as interesting or captivating. It is by no means a poor album, perhaps not even a misstep; I just hope that he can inject as much vitality into these other instruments as he does his acoustic guitar in the future. |

| Trumpet, french horn, vibes, cello, bass and drums. What an awesome combination.rI wasn't expecting this to be so chilled, as a lot of it just cruises along sitting on nice grooves, with some solemn 'free' solos thrown in. This definitely leans more towards the Pharoah Sanders/Alice Coltrane side of the avant garde, as opposed to the blowing sessions of Albert Ayler or John Coltrane. The are a few moments of fury though, where the cello steals the show. The bass and cello duo is just fantastic throughout, as is the horn section up front. This release is well worth tracking down for anyone with an interest in 70's avant garde. |

| Another great Polish Jazz album. All of the songs are perfectly paced, the solos executed well, and there are varying amounts of 'free' playing to keep things on edge. It is a varied affair, though it definitely has that European inflection, or more specifically, Polish.rOnce you have listened to Komeda and Stanko, this should be your next port of call. |

| Jamie Lidell Compass | 3.0 |
I guess this is kind of a reversal of the style shown by James Blake, How To Dress Well and various other
electronic artists blending singer/songwriter and soul influences into their sound. Here Jamie Lidell infuses
some electronic touches into his blue eyed soul routine, as well as some other oddities, with varying levels
of success.
'Completely Exposed', with an intro containing both beat boxing and cluster chords, is perhaps the perfect
introduction to this mixed bag of tunes. |

| While Ulcerate have really stepped up their atmospheric sound and improved the flow of their songs, it rsometimes falls into a similar trap which hampered their debut; dynamics. Yes, they have now whole-rheartedly embraced the fast/slow dynamic which was introduced on Everything Is Fire, but the only thing rholding them back now, is the constant atmospheric density. Texturally, much of this album ends up at the rsame level; a constant contrapuntal assault, with not too much diversity in the riffs. rThat being said, the riffs are incredible, and the atmosphere is even bleaker than previous outings, creating ra fantastic album. It's just that now instead of pummeling you into the ground with jarring riffs and rbreakneck pace, Ulcerate choose to weigh heavily on your soul, suffocating you under a constant wall of rsound. |

| On Of Fracture and Failure, Ulcerate utilise huge walls of dissonance and blistering riffs to create an album that is both crushing and unusually melodic. While a little less refined than their later work, Of Fracture and Failure is a fantastic example of dense and crushing music, carried out by brilliant musicians. Undeniably harsh and intense, this is definitely an album and band worth your time. |

| Hiromi Beyond Standard | 3.5 |
| The second album with her Sonicbloom group, Hiromi does not disappoint, with another set of great tracks. While it is a bit more tame compared to "Time Control" (seeing as it is essentially an album of standards), the experimentation and progressiveness is still there, albeit in a more controlled fashion. The songs are more mellow than before, with more romantic melodies throughout, but also include the moments of craziness and rather "out there" sounds. This is the perfect companion to "Time Control", as it explores more of the other side of her and the bands playing... and I love it just as much. |

| Tord Gustavsen Trio Being There | 3.5 |
| ?Being There? is an album that is to be savoured. It is an album of nuance and gentle ebbs and flows, drawing the listener in, as opposed to bluntly forcing the listener to take notice. Much of the album can turn into background music quite easily, and is quite fitting for it really - the smooth jazz of a lounge setting perhaps. However, because of this gentle nature, the songs of the album can tend to blend into one if you are not paying attention. The trio?s sound is not one of flamboyance, so patient and attentive listening is required, as anybody who invests the time to take all of the subtleties of this album in, will be greatly rewarded. The playing of the trio is supremely elegant and tasteful, and as a result, ?Being There? is one of the most beautiful jazz albums that you will hear.r |
