5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy jazz, December 28, 2008

By	Kactus Kong - See all my reviews

Norwegian Guitarist Eivind Aarset works in some intriguing guitar on this instrumental electronic-jazz release on Jazzland. Other typical jazz instruments weave in and out of tracks like Nils Peter Molvaer on trumpet (track 8), sax, live drums, and stand up bass (track 3). The overall mood is one of snow and mystery with darkness all around. It's got a sex appeal to it that might turn off an average listener who could possibly label tracks porn music. If you are one of them, then track 7, Self Defence should change your mind as it's an acid jazz noise hardcore beat. Aarset's sound is very similar to electronic jazz artist David Torn. The textures created by the guitar are slow and flow like water over jazz bass lines. The tracks compositionally create very different moods with electronic music being the only common element. Slow movements of air and light touch playing on all instruments cut out the higher frequencies and deliver a relaxing sound that the cool jazz era established.

4.0 out of 5 stars Controlled Beast!, April 17, 2006

By	vivek savant (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Light Extracts (Audio CD)

"Light Extracts" - Live drum-n-bass, and textured guitars create some massive grooves that perfectly reside alongside those typical Scandinavian cold, rattling rhythms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outrageous combination of Jazz and dance, July 27, 2002

By	Robert van Riel (Haarlem Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Light Extracts (Audio CD)

Aarset has made a brilliant CD that combines jazz rhythms with slow, heavy dancebeats. The tunes are catchy. His guitarriffs (both bass and guitar)are laid-back but intense. Great stuff
