THE DEVOURING

Perhaps the reason Suspension and Displacement is my favourite Djam Karet album is that whilst I like what they do on the ambient transitions and intros on their albums - such as the opening of Night of the Mexican Goat-Sucker on this album - the Crimsonian guitar jams which actually make up the bulk of their music on their usual albums leave me rather cold. It's technically impressive stuff and if you're really fond of instrumental guitar jams with a prog sensitivity it's worth giving it a go - you might enjoy it more than me - but I wouldn't say it particularly cries out for wider attention or acclaim.
