1 CD music Orchestra Dim Bridges features the keyboards and synthesizers of Eyvind Kang (who also plays violin on some tracks) and Tucker Martine on 11 electronic originals. Their music is often cinematic and dramatic, picturesque and reasonably colorful. The two musicians clearly had a good time layering on tracks but the overall results, which are sometimes just sound explorations, are not all that memorable. ~ Scott Yanow Orchestra Dim Bridges is the long awaited and much anticipated collaboration between creative minds Eyvind Kang and Tucker Martine. This beautifully crafted recording covers lots of musical ground, from fluid and melodic songwriting to deep and subtle avant-garde sonic explorations, and most places in-between. Filled with both delicate and aggressive surprises, each listen of this unique and subtle record reveals something fresh and new. Violinist, composer, and conceptualist Eyvind Kang is a member of Bill Frisell's Quartet, Secret Chiefs 3, Wayne Horvitz's 4+1 Ensemble, and has worked with John Zorn, Beck, Marc Ribot, Arto Lindsay, and Ikue Mori. He also has 3 groundbreaking recordings of his own out on John Zorn's Tzadik label, and is one of today's most unique voices in creative and experimental music. Producer/Sound Alchemist Tucker Martine is also a member of Wayne Horvitz's 4+1 Ensemble and appeared on the Sam Rivers/Julian Priester record Hints on Light and Shadow. His first release, entitled Mount Analog, was released in 1996. More recently he has released another Mount Analog record entitled New Skin, and a very well received record with avant-piano man Wayne Horvitz entitled Mylab. An accomplished producer and sonic visionary, Tucker's collaborators include artists such as Bill Frisell, Laura Veirs, Robin Holcomb, Jim White, and Jesse Sykes. In addition, several records of his field recordings have been released including Bush Taxi Mali and Moroccan Reveries.

While the liner notes do not contain a complete personnel listing, they do include exact recording dates, half of which are taken from live broadcasts emanating from New York and Hollywood.

1 album for sale While Club 8 has always maintained a pretty steady sound and identity as a dreamily melancholy band, the half of the duo responsible for the music has pursued a more unpredictable path in his solo project, the Legends. On each of their records Johan Angergård has been like a musical sponge soaking up his current interest, whether it was noise pop, synth pop, or post-punk, and then re-creating it with uncanny precision. Up until now, there have only been hints of this skill in Club 8's output. That all changes on their 2010 release The People's Record, which shows the result of Angergård and Club 8's vocalist Karolina Komstedt's discovery of, and subsequent love for, West African pop of the late '60s and '70s. Unlike their contemporaries who use African sounds as a flavoring device, the duo immerses themselves fully in the sound right down to the tone of the organ. Angergård's guitar work in particular is authentic to the point where it's hard to believe he hasn't been playing in this style for years. While you could be cynical and say this embrace of such a hip reference point was a marketing ploy of some kind, it's hard to listen to the joy and energy that come bursting out of the grooves and see it as anything other than a labor of love. You could also doubt that they could make it all work, given the detached and cool feel of past Club 8 records, but somehow Komstedt's airy and sweet vocals sound perfect when blended with the warm-as-the-sun rhythms, bubbling guitars, and wonderfully cheesy organ. It helps that these are some of the best songs they've written: "Western Hospitality," "Shape Up!," and "We're All Going to Die" would be good even if played on toy pianos and recorders. The uptempo songs are full of life and happiness, the few slow songs have a subdued grace that is trademark Club 8, and when taken together, they add up to the band's best record to date. Certainly it's the record that takes the most chances and has the most highly developed sense of adventure; that it succeeds so fully is a mark of both the note-perfect production, Angergård's musical abilities, and Komstedt's enchanting and surprisingly soulful vocals. Oh, and the songs! ~ Tim Sendra Recording information: Konst & Ramar. Personnel: Karolina Komstedt (vocals); Johan Angergård (guitar, synthesizer); Jari Haapalainen (guitar); Marcus Olsson (saxophone, piano, Farfisa); Thomas Hallonstern (Farfisa, synthesizer); Thobias Gabrielsson (bass guitar); Jouni Haapala (drums, percussion); Ann-Sofie Lundin, Anna Åhlman, Re Runninghorse, Chuck Anthony (background vocals).
