Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Skalpel (Audio CD)

I purchased the album largely on the strength of the reviews on Amazon and elsewhere. This is sometimes a bad idea. When it is, I make purchases that I mildly regret as I hand the CD off to Bumper at the used music store for 30% of it's original value after several disappointing listens. That didn't happen this time. This album is a keeper. It's mellow--look elsewhere for a more energetic take on the jazz/beats front--but it's ideal for evening relaxation or to keep things chilled out at work. I'll be playing this when I have folks over for dinner, probably sandwiched between STS9's "Artifact" and Savath & Savalas' "Apropa't", both of which I also recommend. In the meantime, Skalpel will enjoy a long run in my regular listening rotation.

So, if you're looking for something mellow but insistent enough to keep your attention, if you enjoy jazz & beats & a mild taste of electronica, buy this album. You won't have any regrets, even if you like it a little less than I do.

Thanks to other reviewers for turning me on to this album.

Igor Pudlo and Marcin Cichy have been making warm, crisp and complex beat-based music for a while now. You wouldn't know it but they are some of the best knowned DJ's and producers in Poland. A blend of old 50's nouveau polish jazz records,Cichy and Pudlo unravel there debut with astonishing east european crisp breaks. They are on to it.
Makes me feel un-huh... right.

This album is sort of a cure for pain, believe me..I totally dropped out when i heard "sculpture" ep some months ago..Now we gotta full album and it's worth it.Dig it.You won't regret.Classic sound, sort of retro, comes together with Cinematic Orchestra and classical tunes of scandinavian jazz scene form the 60s and 70s..Just kick back, relax, get your earphones and listen. Pure joy.
