5.0 out of 5 stars An awesome listen...., December 29, 2005
I have THE DAWN, its a bit short but a great aural experience. This album though, takes the sound concept even further. Live Drums and percussion take form of acoustic drum n' bass and hip hop(seigfried is brilliant), and the time signatures are not always 4/4, so thats kind of interesting. Muller on the piano and fender rhodes is as imaginative in his lines and chord progressions as could be, the bass is agressive and makes a statement, Nya is philosophical in his rapping, die hard hip hop fans may find this kind of music a tough swallow, but for creative and progressive minds, this just breaks any genre barriers. Eric truffazs' lines are a bit miles davis like on some songs, but he flows from mood to mood and is relentless; the blowing technique he uses is kind of unique because it sounds quite ambient and soft and smooth as opposed to the usually heard brassy timbre.
This is an essential keep for any collector of jazz and cutting edge sounds and rhythms.

4.0 out of 5 stars check out the nu jazz!, February 17, 2000
By andrew lukas (Minneapolis, Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bending New Corners (Audio CD)
This is a sometimes funky, sometimes groovy, always minimalist jazz entry from French Trumpet master Erik Truffaz. Very much acoustic drum and bass, it features rare rap offerings from Nya, none of them intruding into these smooth sounds.
