Well.. They are a (circa) ten-piece jazz-band from Norway. I heard them live about a year ago (Kim Hiorthøy was playing with them, but I don't know if he's actually part of the band), and they were /really/ good. Very energetic, with all sorts of instuments. It's sort of a combination of written compositions and group improvisations. I think "A livingroom hush" is their only release apart from an ep called "magazine ep", which is also recommended. -Stefan Sean Portnoy wrote:

Those of a slightly jazzual persuasion might be interested to know that we're streaming Jaga Jazzist's 'A Livingroom Hush' on the BBC site till Monday. It's been described as 'Charlie Mingus with the Aphex Twin up his arse' but I reckon it's more like Gil Evans and the High Llamas having tea with (a slightly sedated) Squarepusher. Anyway, it's good... http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/albumofweek.shtml cheers peter Peter Marsh - BBCi Music http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/jazz/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/experimental/ BBCi at http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

Okay...I know this is way late, but I'm finally getting around to playing some stuff I've had a while - and this is a real peach. Very cool swirl of styles and possibly the most refreshing hybrid I've heard in ages. Additionally it seems to fare well as an early morning reflective listen. jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I just ended up listening to them for the first time last week. I picked up an album of theirs along with the Phantomsmasher on Ipecac. Both releases really impressed me in rather different ways. I have yet to fully explore everything on the Jaga Jazzist. It is really something one needs to listen to numerous times to take in.

I adore Living Room Hush, haven't yet got into The Styx (sounds like more of the same), but have just got hold of their Messenger EP (which might be a Norwegian only release I'm not sure) which predates Hush and is great. A friend described them as Tortoise with a wind section and a penchant for drill'n'bass - unfairly reductive, but passingly accurate. All the best, Colin.

i've been giving 'the stix' a few listenings, and i'm slowly getting into it.. i regret not seeing them live when i had the opportunity. if you like Jaga, you might want to check out Martin Horntveth and Kim Hiortøys solo work. oh, and pick up the new Xploding Plastix ep on your way, 'The Benevolent Volume Lurkings EP'

I'll give it up for jaga jazzist. I like most of what i've heard from them alot. Something like them has a huge potential to not be very good, but they really are. And i think in that sense, they have alot of potential for some more amazing releases... - cutups ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandon Smith" <gozravp@yahoo.com> To: "The REAL Mxyzptlk" <therealmxyzptlk@comcast.net>; "idm-m" <idm-m@yahoogroups.com> Cc: <idm@hyperreal.org> Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 11:19 AM Subject: Re: [idm] Jaga Jazzist

My curiosity is truly piqued as I'm a big fan of Rotoscope - sort of Jaga + digital shredder, but that singleunit url just gives me an uninformative shockwave and I can't get anywhere else - does the site have any samples? Singleunit.net - is that something different?

I hadn't had much luck finding Martin Horntveth's stuff here in New York, so I went and looked around on soulseek. What I found was a track of his on a remix album of a band called Ulver alongside other remixers such as Fennesz, Neotropic, Pita, and Bogdan. Its called Ulver: First Decade in the Machines and its a pretty damn good collection of remixes. Good enough to pique my interest in Ulver themselves who turn out to be a Scandinavian metal band with all sorts of exciting non-metal tendencies. I'd kind of like to see more compilations of IDM artists remixing heavier non-IDM artists. Does anyone remember that Foetus remix album? That shit was awesome. Yea... and I couldn't figure out that singleunit website either, but I'm definitely curious to hear it. -Aaron ----- Original Message ----- From: donna summer <donnasummerwfmu@hotmail.com> Date: Monday, July 7, 2003 8:01 pm Subject: RE: [idm] Jaga Jazzist

Ulver used to be a metal band, but nowadays they've moved on to ambient/instrumental music.. You might want to check out the album Perdition City.
