As you can tell by my profile picture, this album is outstanding.. very very good modern prog music, complex arrangements and sturdy song writing. Lars Horntveth is a very prolific guy, i admire his move from jazz/drum'n'bass stuff to a more progressive/rockier sound, yet still retaining the jazz elements. Why does Scandinavia produce such amazing music?

Its weird because apparently Lars Horntveth, the main writier in the band, isnt really inspired by Zappa at all, yet Jaga have a strong resemblance to Zappa- Hot Rats era... I think it is Jaga's original jazz background that strikes this zappa resemblance to many, including myself

Going through Jaga's older stuff... shows how much work must have been put into One Armed Bandit. It's really a huge step forward and I think is up there with T. Driver's work as progression, fusion and innovation in the 21st century.
