Title:
Skalpel
Label:
NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:
CD
Price:
$13.00
Catalog #:
ZEN 087CD
"Drawing on Poland's rich jazz heritage (much of it semi-illegal samizdat recordings made when the Communists thought that jazz could bring down the state), Cichy and Pudlo have an unrivaled source of samples to tap and they tap it with consummate aplomb. They combine a kind of broad brush romanticism with the most clinically chopped and reconstituted breaks for a sound which comes on like an East European
In A Silent Way
with heavier drumming."

Catalog #:
ZEN 114CD
"Polish duo Skalpel return with their second album for Ninja Tune and it's a deeper, darker, more satisfying journey into the roots of Eastern European jazz and breaks than they have ever managed before. Very much one for jazzers, beat heads and strong cigarette smokers,
Konfusion
is an album to soundtrack your espresso breaks and to play so that you don't have to read Jean Paul Sartre. These boys are celebrities in their mother country, which suggests that the Poles have slightly better taste than we do."

NINJA TUNE (UK)
Format:
12"
Price:
$8.00
Catalog #:
ZEN 12151EP
"Skalpel are Marcin Cichy and Igor Pudlo, from Wroclaw, Poland. Their aim is to resurrect the dusty & smoky spirit of 60s and 70s Polish jazz and then 'reimagine it for 21st century audiophiles.' The results, we're sure you'll agree, are startling -- warm, crisp and complex without being complicated."
