Turmalinturm [CD]

Fogh Depot continues its quest for the fifth element, experimenting at the confluence of jazz, neoclassical, and electronic music. Two years after their first S/T release, the Moscow- based trio presents a new album - Turmalinturm.

Like the previous recording, this is a unique blend of ostensibly incompatible elements. A traditional academic approach fuses with lo-fi spontaneity. The raw and vivid texture of the bass springs forward from a modular sterility. Turmalinturm's listeners get to choose how to approach the album. Some will discover the same pensive melancholy sounds that Fogh Depot started with. Others will find lighter, brighter, occasionally even euphoric motifs.

Recommended if you like Xploding Plastix, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble or The Cinematic Orchestra.
