PROXY NIGHTS, MISTY LIGHTS

Taimur Mazhar Sheikh and Omer Asim aka 6LA8: Proxy Nights- Misty Lights (2013) plays around & between a contemporary and timeless Jazz/Blues/R&B tainted feel which blends naturally into their well structured electronic music idiom.

The mere act of coming up with this kind of blend without compromising originality neither language or modernity adds up points per se, but the recreational enjoyment transmitted, without filters, to the listener pays the price of the full ride.

5 tracks, 5 electronic/Jazz creations with close encounters ranging from pre-Prog Jazz to mainstream Jazz and R&B, keeping, ironically, a safe distance mostly from Fusion Jazz and this is why this album becomes so unique, as it plays with these well known canons but transfiguring the whole feel into their own realms with their own creative electronic music ideas in composition and of course with their personal controlled psychedelic driven, slightly weird & slightly dreamy sound.

As to rate it fair and square of 5 tracks, 4 worked wonders to my ears, the bit longer one could have been the same cut short. But this is just in able to rate it for you attentive reader.
