Hey guys, just officially released a new album 'Things' by Kubikmaggi. Listen here: https://kubikmaggi.bandcamp.com/album/things About band: While the band's sound dwells within chamber music, the trio are known for breaking musical forms based on several polar music styles. Within one composition styles may vary between jazz, rock and classical music. These shifts may occur very rapidly, almost abruptly, or flow naturally into one another. Early jazz gives way to baroque-classical motifs, Russian folk is followed by prog rock. Links: - Official site: http://kubikmaggi.com - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mNJaEUvu7I - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kubikmaggi Album info: “Things” is the third studio album from Kubikmaggi, recorded at Norway’s Ocean Sound Recordings Studio –– itself located on the small island of Giske. Synthesizing some fundamental and richly inventive concepts of the last few years, “Things” now offers audiences six resultant –– substantial –– compositions. Driven by an anxious, yet inspired psychological state, those six tracks rush from avant-garde improvisation to blues –– and then to reggae. They span the dizzying distances between stately Soviet film music and radical minimalism; between jazz, pop, rock... and everything else that Kubikmaggi’s members have encountered. In a word, “Things” reflects their listening experiences of the recent past, the present, and future. It reflects contradictory, yet fertile states of yearning, joy, wellbeing, humor –– and an ever-present mood of estrangement. 1. Japanese (06:46) 2. Gusli (08:45) 3. Shostak (14:09) 4. Pompeii (11:20) 5. Summertime (08:32) 6. Hangar (14:07) Thanks in advance!

Checking. At a first impression I hear more jazz than avant/prog. Very good but maybe it's a fit for JMA. I need more listens, anyway. |

My first impression was wrong. I'm afraid that we'll see a bit of pingpong between the teams.

And I've discovered that Kubikmaggi was suggested and rejected 4 years ago. With at least a new release after the rejecton I think they may be re-evaluated. I have to ask the admins.

Just taken a first listen and got almost all the way through the first track before buying the CD. This is outstanding.
May well not make the cut for addition here on the basis of too much jazz, not enough rock. Should be heard by absolutely everyone who would not consider that a bar to musical enjoyment. |

For their addition to PA Library, they should need unanimous "YES" votes in Team.
Now under re-evaluation ... http://progfreak.com/Kubikmaggi-157314.html?path=pa/recent
