Alexander Noice for Avant-Prog or Zeuhl

Submitted for your approval (cuz it sure as hell has mine!) is the music of Los Angeles-based composer Alexander Noice, whose new CD "Noice" is just out on Orenda Records.  I would likely categorize this as Avant-Prog, though there's more than a little Magma in this music, largely due to the unusual vocal style.

Their label says: "Alexander Noice’s modern take on art-rock pulls on jazz, electronic music, and minimalist opera to create a sound that is inimitable and deeply personal. This amalgam of stylistic influences provides a variegated sonic bed for lyrics that delve into topics involving false pretenses pervasive in modern social contexts, and the search for meaning in revelations of science and technology....  Relentless linear virtuosity in the guitar and saxophone intermingles with fervent, soaring operatic vocals, which either add to the band’s manic energy with sharp rhythmic articulations and lyrics, or cool it down with beautiful melodies. Thumping drums and electric bass fuel the engine of NOICE, with interjections of tailor-made samples, organically woven into highly intricate arrangements."
