Bohren & der Club of Gore started out as a Heavy Metal/Hardcore band, but then completely changed their style to something which is often referred to as Doom Jazz. People often mention Lynch, but really meaning some of the work composed by Angelo Badalamenti for Lynch works such as Twin Peaks, but also to some extent Lost Highway.
In a nutshell, the music on this album is something pretty rare, creating a dark, moody and brooding jazz sound, carried by a minimalistic use of the instruments (bass, drums played primarily with brushes, vibraphone and the leading saxophone).
How it feels? Picture yourself alone in the city displayed on the album cover, at the very moment of the sunset. It's cold, cars and fleeting faces are passing you by - everyone is rushing to get home before it goes completely dark. Then you hear the sound of that saxophone and everything starts happening in slow motion. You really want to get home but are captured by the sound and make your way into the darker corners of the city to find the source of this music. You are led to an abandoned industrial area and somehow manage to climb up onto the roof of the highest building. There, you find a lone saxophone player contemplating on the bigger picture of things through the sound of the sax. You dare not interrupt his playing and simply lie on your back staring at the dark sky, letting your mind run free. Even the cold cannot touch you now, as you are entirely wrapped up in your thoughts and the sound of the music.
The End ;)

This record would set you back about £500 if you wanted a Vinyl copy...says it all really, music for the soul of the highest calibre.
