Non-combustible modified foam

Miles Davis has been invented for the Norwegians. No? Oh wait, trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg is actually Danish. This started out as if Strangers in the Night had been part of the Ascenseur pour l’Échafaud soundtrack, only with the hangman leaning on a synth (for which he should be hung). But also shades of early electric Miles played through non-combustible modified foam (I have that from the dictionary, but it’s simply perfect).

On the other hand I must say I’m completely impressed by Terje. I’ve ogled his pedal board and it’s nothing much, I have half of these exact same pedals, plus a handful more, so I’m really in awe at how he works his sounds.

Crime Scene was the title of the whole thing, and samples from noir movies were worked in nicely. The chief part-time perpetrator on stage you can see in the photo above. This was mildly eclectic music, so a drummer would have to get funky now and then, and he just didn’t have it in him. He would have to swing, but nope. Only when things got heavy, he took off, and then the whole thing really took off altogether. Beautifully ornamental play by Storløkken over that. My favorite part. They should just have plain rocked out. Because the moodinesses were on pre-set, nice, but kind of routine, still,

then…
