The debut album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, synths and woodwinds.
This is a new band to me and another debut album from the very impressive Apollon Records, Norway.
The band is named after a geographical feature in Ethiopia, Africa. A depression in the earth, no less.
This is a three quarters of an hour long album. The music is a blend of ethno jazz, fusion and eclectic prog.
The music is very eclectic and quirky.... but still somewhat melodic.
I am normally not a big fan of woodwinds. But the band's use of woodwinds is very cool and almost makes me forget that I am no fan of these instruments.
This album is not for those who want clear and concise melodies. It is an album for the fans of jazz and fusion. It is also a good album in it's own right and one to check out. I hope to hear a lot more from this band in the future.
