Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Scorch Trio is a very apt description for this combo's power-surge brand of improvisation. Finnish guitarist Raoul Björkenheim is best known for his work with Edward Vesala, whilst bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and drummer Paal Nilssen-Love are Norway's rhythm team of the moment, playing with Bugge Wesseltoft, Hakon Kornstad and Atomic. The threesome's eruptions are lovingly recorded on analogue equipment by Kai Andersen, live in the studio. This disc demands a liberal twist of the volume control, taking on a demonic urgency when the speaker cones start to melt. Björkenheim emerges from the Jimi Hendrix and Sonny Sharrock lineage, the blues being a discernible remnant amidst the wreckage of his contorting experimentation. Raoul's restless, heat-seeking bursts are often drenched in the kind of modulating special effects that Wayne Krantz has been using for some time (Björkenheim also dwells in New York now, so it's not certain who got there first). He turns his solos inside out, twisting into strange shapes, switching pitches and apeing the sound of hammered metal tubing. The Norwegians match Håker Flaten ripping out frayed electric funk lines. This is the power trio genre goaded into its most savage expression yet. --Martin Longley


Album Description

Unique Finnish composer and guitar master Raoul Björkenheim teams up with the hot, young Norwegian rhythm section of Håker Flaten (bass) and Nilssen-Love (drums) in a classic power trio. Burning with an untamed energy this is neither jazz nor rock, but a free spirited music that in places reminds us of Hendrix' Band Of Gypsies. The three of them have worked with names like Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble, Edward Vesala, Iain Ballamy, Dave Liebman, Tony Oxley, Pat Metheny, Django Bates, Nils Petter Molvær and others. Like all rune grammofon releases, it has a striking minimalist sleeve design by Kim Hiorhøy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blistering..., 14 Aug 2003
By N. A. Bakhshov "nadimbakhshov" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Blistering Norwegian Jazz that challenges rock music at its wildest and most disconcerting. It is music that seems to have a coherent form but is literally collapsing before your ears. The drums hammer out some structure but then the time signature changes and you lose your footing. It seems to stabilise again then slips again. The bass guitar keeps on promising some repetition and security but jangles and jumps and jars against the polyrhythmic shifting time signatures of the drums. On top of this chaotic staccato structure the guitar does its best to find more angularity. It feels exhausting but immensely satisfying. The production is fresh and raw. It is like going to some Eastern Guru for enlightenment but finding that Guru just keeps on provoking and stimulating you. There is no respite. You finally come to the end and wonder where you are and what you have been listening to.
Thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music from the reptilian brain, 7 Feb 2005
Raoul Björkenheim, master guitarist and composer, seems to have set his new trio the task of shedding the civilization off the musical brain and letting the primitive, pre-conscious, pre-civilized portions of the mind speak out. The music is both alien and very familiar as it addresses the listener on a primary level of experience, seldom encountered in its raw form. The expression is brutally honest since all niceties and conventions of culture are missing.

For me the listening experience was something like a "ritual of purification", as the music allows the listener to take a vacation from the constant control and discipline one experiences in everyday life.
