PIKNIK

It's been a pleasant experience stumpling upon Energit. Their music is quite innovative compared to some of the pedestrian jazzrock groups out there, and my ears glide easily through the 4 sides Energit put to wax.

The self titled debut used free jazz to inspire their rock oriented jamming--Piknik draws more on groove. The musicians are obviously world class and having a great time, and it shows on the record. 8 musicians contribute to the full sound the group achieves, and the dynamic patterns displayed throughout the music enhance the listening experience through gates that transcend nature. Energit came to me at the right time, and the obscure nature of this Czech group add to the appeal for me.
