nu romantix is the only album I got :) but I've heard other
stuff of his and that one is still my fav.

all his songs have excellent fat synths and basslines. the
nu romantix album also got very nice vocoder vocals. If you
like cut the midrange drop the bass, you will love this.

i saw them live - have been unable to get hold of the album
yet but its releaed properly this month at some point i
think. heres my review of the gig:

Jaga Jazzist 12/04/02 The Spitz, London

The promotional material suggests that Norwegian ten-piece
Jaga Jazzist are like "Charlie Mingus with Aphex Twin up his
arse" which in some ways is very true. Jaga Jazzist do sound
like a Jazz band with an electronica artist trying to get
out but the electronica element isn't used enough in the
mix, but when it is the band are great!

The Spitz is a tiny venue and to fit a ten-piece band on the
tiny stage was amazing in itself, the band were squeezed
onto the stage and overflowed over the sides. The band
comprised of 2 drummers, 1 guitarist, 1 bass player, 1
trumpet (& double bass) player, 1 saxophone player, 1 flute
player, 1 trombone, 1 tuba and a keyboards & electronics
player. They also swapped instruments regularly just to keep
you on your toes.

At the start of the gig they resembled a bunch of music
college kids just jamming together and it seemed like this
gig could be a high school assembly, but as they got into
the first track you realised just how strongly the musicians
and instruments worked together. The end result was a
fantastic show of strength of music and some extremely
danceable tracks.

The highlights include a couple of amazing solos. The first
from the drummers who beat merry hell out of their kits,
amazingly staying totally in time with each other whilst
staring at one another and creating a mass of beats which
ripped through the venue. The second solo was from the
trumpeter, who demonstrated his amazing lung capacity by
playing an immensely long solo, although even more amazing
than his solo was the sight of him straight after sparking
up a cigarette.

Calling Jaga Jazzist a Jazz or Electronica band seems
unfair. Calling them a jazz/electronica fusion band is also
unfair as they are so much more than that. Styles on display
tonight include jazz, funk, electronica, ambient, drum & ba

that's really funny.. I was listening to a livingroom hush
the other day and wondered why they hadn't gone
international with this one.

their older stuff (jævla jazzist, grete stitz and magazine
ep) sounds a bit amateurish produced, but is still strong.
their live performances are the bomb though :)

nice review, who/what did you write it for?

i wrote it for absorb.org but it never went up! not sure why
maybe not electronic enough. the drummer from jaga has an
electronica side project who are playing soon at the same
venue so am gonna go to that too! have you heard his side
project?

I've heard it.. it got rave reviews over here, but I think
it's lacking melody. it sounds a bit like some of
squarepushers harshest tracks.

I've only heard it once in a recordstore, so I might be
mistaken.. you should go check it out :)
