5.0 out of 5 stars All hail the New Fusion, October 10, 2000
By Dirk Hugo (Cape Town, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Solid Ether (Audio CD)
Nils Petter Molvær's debut solo album "Khmer" revealed a knack for the combination of horn-based motifs with contemporary techno/electronica. "Solid Ether" goes a step further and fuses these elements into an homogenous and genre-defying offering that seeks the corruption of both stylistic and structural sensibilities. Jazz purists will hate it for its chunky beats and narrow minded dance phreaks will be put off by its unashamed musical complexity. Somewhere in the afterlife the ghost of Miles Davis is grooving to this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost as good as "Khmer", July 25, 2000
By Hank Schwab (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Solid Ether (Audio CD)
This is lovely, innovative stuff. The only problem is that it doesn't take off much from the direction set by "Khmer". It also contains two unfortunate pieces with lyrics, but they're short. However, these are minor complaints. The overall sound reminds me, if anything, of Jon Hassel and Brian Eno's collaboration twenty years ago, but essentially, this is music like no one else's. Buy "Khmer" first, then this if you're still hungry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, July 17, 2000
By Ventmo (Lakewood, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Solid Ether (Audio CD)
This is the follow-up to the award-winning "Khmer". Molvær's naked and lyrical trumpet stories are a little more dynamic this time around. Some electro-groove on a few songs and some beautiful piano and song (courtesy Sidsel Endresen) make for a varied listening experience. He has again found some beautiful melodies in his musical universe and plays them to the bone, whether he stands alone at the edge with his trumpet or in the middle of an inferno of electro-acoustical smoke and flames. Not quite what you would call jazz, but excellent none the less.
