Space Sailors

Description

This new album is the perfect sequel to "Reflections and Odysseys," their highly acclaimed debut that gave rise to a series of equally appreciated performances. The trio - consisting of pianist Bugge Wesseltoft and the rhythm section of the cult Swedish band e.s.t. - has taken the dynamics, textures, atmospheres, and the perfect blend of subtle details and grand sonic gestures to new levels, incorporating new elements drawn from the 60s psyche and punk energy along the way. If you've ever wondered what would happen if Krzysztof Komeda's music for a Polanski film collided with Fugazi, look no further; if you need to know what Chopin might sound like writing doom metal, you may find the answer you're looking for. The prog and fusion elements you already know and expect are still there, but with different colors and markings. If "Reflections and Odysseys" was a first expedition into low Earth orbit, "Space Sailors" goes well beyond. It could very well be their landing album.
