More Jazznoir Madness for those Progressive Tanzkellers!

A new album Streamer from trumpet player Nils Petter Molvaer this time recorded live in Tampere and London. From an initial listen to the demo mp3s, it all sounds appropriately Nordic, ice-cold crystal production, simmering pads and chunky beats that were manufactured by viking dwarves on a North Sea oil rig. And that guitar work - Northern Europe must be the last refuge of shaggy haired axemen. (Indeed, Northern Europe gave birth to great hordes of shaggy haired axe-men, but that was about 1500 years ago...)

*sigh* NPM is an artist I've always wanted to like, but haven't ever quite crossed his bridge when I come to him. But if you've ever wanted to hear Miles Davis meeting Kruder&Dorfmeister in an Oslo basement club, this is probably as close as you'll get.
