Pretty phenomenal (2008-05-30)  This is an unusual album... it's jazz, but not as you know it. I can even hear hints of Tori Amos on 'Well' and Radiohead on 'Dinosaur Die'. The musicianship of these three is just stunning and what really strikes me so much about the album is the production, it's so beautifully engineered, so flawless, it's a treat every time it's played. All the tracks are good, some more beautiful than others, with great, soaring musical landscapes that Cowley manages to conjure up on the piano. Really great drumming and double bass too. Highly recommended.
Beautiful & Uplifting (2008-04-14)  I'd never heard of this band until I saw them on "Later with Jools holland".I bought this album purely on hearing "His Nibs" being performed on the program. It was energetic and the way Cowley bounces around on his seat and really conveys his passion and love for music.I knew instantly that there was something special and different about this Jazz/Rock trio, so instanty went online and bought the album which I never usually do.When I received the album, I played it, loved it and played it again...twice.Being a Jazz trumpet player myself I loved this music with its wide variety from Tasteful Jazz, Rock and Soul (No horrible Beat-bop here!). This music is almost a new kind of Jazz. Its energetic in areas and in others big open chord heavy beautifulness. The melodies and use of catchy hooks keep your head bopping and its great to cook food to (as I found out!).This album has balls, it has attitude, it'll knock you for six and leaves you smiling in awe. 5 of out 5 here
Elements of Different Styles - Real Fusion (2008-04-05)  Like all good music that is not commercial or mainstream I stumbled on this trio after reading a review in the Sunday Times & listening to some clips of tracks on the internet. This album is magically impressive if you enjoy jazz, funk & rock because this band combine all three elements in my opinion. Funked up hard bopping jazz, very percussive and power driven but with some subtle melodies thrown in to break up the relentless pace. This is not safe, smooth jazz but has an edge and a tension. Kind of reminds me of EST but different enough to sound different and Pat Metheny Group in their heavier guises but without the electrics. An album of undoubted energy, verve, funk and enough melody to keep it all together. Not late listening but more for those moments when you want to let it bleed and rock. I'm more than pleased I bought this outstanding album.
