PA bio:
'Phlox' is a fusion/prog rock band from Tallinn, Estonia, formed in 1999 by Kristo Roots (g), Raivo Prooso (perc), Rainer Kapmann (dr) and Priit Holtsmann (b). Although the line up has gone through numerous changes over the years, most of the members have close ties with 'MKDK', a jazz-rock/avant garde record label, non-profit organization and movement of artists and musicians, who frequently switch from one band to another, especially between 'Phlox',' BF' and 'Lippajad'. The first album, "Fusion", was recorded in late 2000, shortly after that Priit Luming (sx, cl), Allan Prooso (perc) and Pearu Helenurm (kb) joined the group. During that period the band's music became more improvisational, from just completely deconstructing their own compositions to having shows where they tried to avoid anything resembling rhythmic structures or harmony. In May 2004 the band's second album "Piima" ("Milk") was recorded in the MKDK Studio, with Margo Pajula on drums and Kalle Klein on sax, using vintage analogue equipment. In 2007, with Madis Zilmer of fusion group 'BF' on drums, 'Phlox' completed its latest album to date, "Rebimine + voltimine" ("Tearing and folding"), which saw the band's return to straightforward, tight structured hard fusion and was well received by audiences and critics alike, both home and abroad. Currently the band is recording its fourth album, which will be released hopefully before the end of 2009. Phlox in 2009 is: Kristo Roots (g), Raivo Prooso (b), Pearu Helenurm (kb), Kalle Klein (sx), Madis Zilmer (dr), Allan Prooso (perc) ===Pearu Helenurm=== LInks:

I have Rebimine and Voltmine, its pretty exciting stuff. Parallels can easily be drawn to Mahavishnu Orchestra with a slightly more Avant approach. Its one of my driving CD's.

I saw them live, with Cédric (CPicard) and Martin (Alucard). Pretty good jazz-fusion.

An excellent night. I remember Alucard asking me to lead the musicians throughout the Paris underground. But it had been another guy who did the work. Thinking of it, I haven't listened to Talu for a while... "All killer, no filler", if I dare to say. |

An excellent band indeed, whose most recent album I've been meaning to listen to again before I put my 2010 top albums list together. R+V is probably my favorite of the two I know.

You can listen the whole album as a YouTube playlist HERE. Which means that tracks play one after each other in the correct order without you having to click anything.

19 march 2010 at Le Triton in Les Lilas.
The opening band, Camembert, was very interesting as well.
