Amoeba Split - Quiet Euphoria (2023)

 

The third album from this band from Spain.

The band was an eight pieces big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, vibraphone, bass, guitars, piano, electric piani, organ, Moog, keyboards and woodwinds.

This is one of the better bands from Europe although they have only released three studio albums and one live album.

This forty minutes long album takes us to the Canterbury scene and it's fusion/jazz scene.

The music is really hardcore, dense jazz here. Avant-garde jazz also springs to mind.... but on reflection, the jazz is not that avant-garde. It is not particularly melodic, though.

This album is not easy to digest for a proghead.

The vibraphone is very cool and this instrument is used throughout the album.

There are a lot of good stuff here and on balance, this is good album. But do not expect any melodic fusion here. This is a jazz album.
