An evocative, imaginative, cinematic ninth LP by the inventive Manchester experimental jazz trio this time with track ideas first utilising electronica turned into their vibrant acoustic playing of interweaving piano, drums and bass. It’s a fascinating insight into how music is created, especially Glimmerings, and Parasite, Saturnine paced to the tempo of a waving Chinese restaurant lucky cat. Another clever idea comes on Soon Comes Night, inspired by an effect featured on tracks such as Bucephalus Bouncing Ball by Aphex Twin and 100407jd7 by Second Woman, in particular a bouncing ball effect that gradually gets faster, created on an electric bass, as well as ideas about passing time. As well as the music, track-by-track insights are revealed by pianist Chris Illingworth, bassist Nick Blacka, and drummer Jon Scott in the embedded links below. Out on XXIM Records / Sony.
