Here, Electronics Rule The Roost, Featuring Three Prominent Musicians Noted For Their Many-Sided, Avant-Garde Albums For The Country's Sofa Label. These And Other Interrelationships Accentuate Scandinavia's Unique Approach To Jazz Improvisation And Off-Kilter Productions, Often Confronting Rigid Classifications. Musically Speaking, Huntsville Is A Prime Example Of Scandinavia's Innovative Applications. "Ear/Eye Connector" Offers A Hyper-Tangerine Dream-Like, Undulating Rhythmic Ostinato, Tinted With A Faint Eeriness That Overlays The Background. With Streaming Electronics The Trio Surges Into A Perky Space Journey Across An Eternal Cosmic Vacuum. At Times Understated Yet Cyclically Powerful, One Of The Musicians Employs A Copper-Toned Hue, Perhaps Indicative Of Asteroids Passing By The Ship, The Piece Conjuring Notions Of Classic Space-Rock, But The Musicians Injecting A Somewhat Inexplicable Organic Element Here, As Well As Into A Good Portion Of This Four-Track Album. Huntsville's Mode Of Attack Is Hip And Nouveau, But By No Means Ordinary. Perhaps Its Members' Free-Jazz And Avant-Garde Backgrounds Help Enlist A Cunning Edge To The Tried-And-True. With Ethereal Imagery That Can Seem Evasive, Huntsville Generates An Abstract View That Seeds An Abundance Of Absorbing Proposals. Personnel: Ivar Grydeland: Guitars, Banjo, Effects; Tonnu Kluften: Bass, Effects; Ingar Zach: Percussion, Effects.“ - GLENN ASTARITA, AllAboutJazz
