This Swiss outfit fuse laptop noise and found objects with free jazz percussion. Sounding somewhere between Jooklo and Usurper, they muster a noisescape of rambling extremities. On this CD-R double bassist, Dragos Tara and the incredible saxophonist, Piero SK, join them. The album was recorded in spring this year and captures a fresh landscape of discord and insanity. Throughout proceedings, the rambling is often pivoted with a stronghold forged by SK's devastatingly corrupt and direct soprano sax. The improvised element gives an intimate and live feel, to the home-listening experience. The electricity thrust upon the eardrum tingles the dormant into motion.

‘La démocratie reste un système bourgeois' is the most profound piece on this record. Showcasing the musicians through unity and full-frontal solos; this is 13minutes of improvised jazz at its best. Creaking soprano sax and electronics collide over a rolling tide of percussion. After 5minutes all artists excel into a ferocious battle finally giving way to a laptop and drum tempest. To mark a departure into reflective fields, SK is given the stand in an inspired solo that trudges with the pace of the heavy breathed session of Anthony Braxton on his contra bass sax. A deep, pained melody is strutted over an ever-pounding 4/4 drum pattern. The stop start of SK's paying accompanied with touches of eastern European gypsy and Moorish patterns, which allude to visions of seedy bathhouses in Budapest. This is music that is as visual as it is aurally stimulating. Finally, as the other players enter the cacophony, a rich canvas of twisting sounds fornicate in hell - a hell from the mind of Bosch.

The session veers through an hour of movements steeped in freedom and experiment. The central highlight piece elevates the album to something extremely memorable. Other memorable moments allow Tara truly shine, as on ‘Montèe aux enfres': a nightmare of epileptic ferocity. Things ramble to a close with a psyched out jamming, more akin to LSD March or Bardo Pond, than the previous raucous experiments that echoed Zappa at his most maniacal. Today, within Europe, free jazz and psych seems to be breaking free from the vacuous whirlpool of freefolk that has steadily built across the Atlantic. After a year of some significant releases in this revised genre, France, Scotland (inc. North England), Switzerland and Portugal are the places to watch right now. 7/10 -- Peter Taylor (29 October, 2008)
