Product Description
Product Description
2003 release from this Australian experimental Jazz trio (piano, bass and drum). Keeping with their musical formula, this album consists of one 60+ minute track that begins with a simple, yet melodic, idea and then builds upon it for the next hour, creating a sonic landscape that enchants the listener as it unfolds, challenging the heart, mind and soul of Rock and Jazz music. Although the band have won numerous Jazz awards in their homeland, they are one of the few bands of that genre that have been wholeheartedly embraced by Rock audiences around the world. Many critics have even compared The Necks to original Krautrock bands like Can. Fish Of Milk.

Amazing improvisational "jazz" album

I was reading Uncut magazine one day and came upon this cd, which they gave 5 stars. I heard the terms improvisation and hour-long-song, which definitely got my attention, so I decided to buy it. I found that these guys are a really impressive band, taking a simple short keyboard line and stretching it out, adding and subtracting parts that makes it similar to a techno pattern but with jazz and psychidelic instruments. It's a unique blend of general jamming/jazz/mood music. It's difficult to explain, but if you are into the Miles Davis Bitches Brew-type music, you should probably give it a try! It's really amazing.

starts with introspective melancholic keyboard refrain, and other instruments unhurriedly, incrementally appear, until it becomes an awesome prog-house-rock-jazz-psych jam. never cluttered and not overstaying its welcome, this hour long track is a very, very nice listen all the way through.

This is great music.starts slow and builds and slows builds and slows its a journey.
Dark and moody. Improvised jazz but its great. These guys know each other so well they just play off each other.
they create this other worldly down tempo almost menacing music.
this is the soundtrack for stalking and killing, both scary and creepy.like nothing you have heard before. Dont listen if you are mentally unstable, or like the music of Justin Beaver.This is dangerous music.
