JAGA JAZZIST
Title:
Animal Chin
Label:
GSL
Format:
CD
Price:
$12.50
Catalog #:
GSL 065CD
"The debut U.S. release from Oslo, Norway's critically-acclaimed Jaga Jazzist. The band's sound is a minefield of contrasting textures and styles; the comparisons that come up often include Miles Davis, Squarepusher, Tortoise, Talk Talk, and Kid 606. The 10-piece group's members span their domestic music scene, and they have performed with, and/or been part of, virtually every notable contemporary Norwegian band. Their debut album,
A Livingroom Hush
, was released in early 2001 by Warner Brothers -- in Europe only.
Animal Chin
, a 30-minute, seven-track collection of material from Hush (3 tracks), the
Airborne
EP (2 tracks), and a couple of unreleased remixes -- sort of a crash course in the Jaga modus operandi. Sleeve art is by Martin Horntveth, creator of the striking digitized images adorning the previous Jaga Jazzist releases."

$17.50
Catalog #:
ZEN 103LP
LP version. "This 10 piece instrumental band is regarded as one of the most exciting and innovative in Norway...with no boundaries and an arsenal that includes trumpets, trombone, electric guitar, bass, tuba, two bass clarinets, Fender Rhodes, vibraphone and a rack of electronics, Jaga create timeless music. Melodic, hypnotizing, delicate and subtle. Many comparisons has been made about Jaga and their music; from Talk Talk, Soft Machine, Eric Satié, John Coltrane and Don Cherry to acts like Aphex Twin, Stereolab, Squarepusher, Isotope 217 and Tortoise."

Title:
Day
Label:
NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$12.50
Catalog #:
ZEN 12150EP
"Contains remixes from Herbert and DAT Politics. 'Day' was one of the finest moments of catchy goodness from their recent
Stix
album, mixing up as it does, sunny acoustic guitar, super sharp shooting double bass and the kind of ratcheted, precise drum and bassiness that gives you a dancefloor hernia. Oh, and some sweeping strings."

Title:
One-Armed Bandit
Label:
NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.50
Catalog #:
ZEN 152CD
"The Norwegian 9-piece return to the fray with the stunning
One-Armed Bandit
. All galloping rhythms, arpeggiated harpsichord and grandiloquent reach, main man Lars Horntveth describes the new sound, tongue-a-little-in-cheek, as 'Wagner meets Fela Kuti!' Certainly we find it harder to imagine a better soundtrack being written for the first Nollywood Viking epic."

Title:
Live with the Britten Sinfonia
Label:
NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.50
Catalog #:
ZEN 196CD
"Like a modern day
Live at Leeds
, like the benevolent, neon twin of
Live Evil
, Jaga Jazzist's wondrous record is just that; a brilliant album on its own terms. It's a psychedelic Bond soundtrack twisting and turning from the stage, propelling the listener forward on an epic emotional voyage. At times it seems to explode from the speakers in pure, exuberant color, making you wonder if you've recently developed synesthesia. It moves with unrestrained ease from quiet reflection to cinematic, widescreen thunder, from
Sound of Music
pastoral joy to pulsing jazz chase sequences."
