I've discovered theses guys while checking the side-projects from the members of Nine Horses not so long ago. I also found out that they were playing near me for less than nothing, so I just had to go.

At first I was expecting something like what you can hear in their myspace but as soon as they started playing I understood what it wouldn't be like: their tracks on myspace. 6 songs for 1 hour and a half, which gives an average of 15 minutes for each.

Friedman starts off with some eerie sounds of white noise disguised as wind and ocean sounds, progressively adding sounds until he is satisfied. Everything seems to be thought ahead; Liebezeit is waiting for a certain beat to start and the light show is getting ready to change it's colours.

Turns out I was wrong again. What Liebezeit was doing was waiting for Friedman to get to a rhythm he thought it was good enough for him to start playing along. As soon he does I notice something odd: he doesn't use his feet to play the drum kit! The bass drum is face up and the hi-hat is so far away that you couldn't reach the pedal with your feet even if you wanted to.

The drumming itself is hypnotic, you soon forget Friedman is even there, contributing to what should be addressed by now as an improvisation since both musicians are basically trying to keep up with each other, Jaki with his simple yet extremely complex rhythms (it's the best I can do to describe them) and Burnt with fancy sound collages that change tempo when you least expect it.

Each improvisation tackles different exotic rhythms, one of them changing from african tribal drumming to a waltz. The encore featured what I would call a Can-ified version of DnB which was definitely the best one out of the 6.

So yeah, buy their albums and etc.
