Just when you think Norwegian band Farmers Market is just another bunch of hip Balkan brass-band wannabes, they hit you with a bone-crunching prog-rocker ("To Hell and Baku"), a sexy Henry Mancini martini (Gerry & the Pacemakers' "Ferry 'Cross the Mersey"), post-bop intensity ("Anyone Who Remembers Vladiwoodstock Wasn't There!"), or spine-tingling Middle Eastern etherealness ("Dissident Harmony Sisters Camel Call"), and other surprising genre-hops along the way. A great sense of humor shines through everything they do, and their technical prowess is impressive.

The Wire (p.65) - "Besides the Balkan surf, there's Heavy Metal guitar riffing, bluegrass tootling and high speed Indian classical duelling..."
Down Beat (p.74) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Drummer Jarle Vespestad and bassist Finn Guttormsen nail the tricky rhythms with a stunningly natural ease that swings..."
Global Rhythm (Publication) (p.55) - "[T]he quintet has been woodshedding with the complex time signatures and melodies of Bulgaria since the early '90s, spiking them with everything from Indian ragas to heavy meta to '60s spy film chic..."

CD $5.95  Top 500
Every pro electric-bass player and their mothers wore out the grooves of this record when it first came out, trying to cop Clarke's speedy, thundering, slapped-thumb bass licks. Yet ultimately, it was Clarke's rapidly developing compositional skills that made this album so listenable and so much fun for the rest of us, then and now. The title track not only contributed a killer riff to the bass vocabulary; it is a cunningly organized piece of music with a well-defined structure. Moreover, Clarke follows his calling card with two tunes that are even more memorable -- the sauntering ballad "Quiet Afternoon" and an ebullient, Brazilian percussion-laced number with a good string arrangement and a terrific groove, "The Dancer." Clarke also brings out the standup bass for a soulful acoustic dialogue with John McLaughlin on "Desert Song." Evidently enthused by their leader's material, David Sancious (keyboards) and Raymond Gomez (guitars) deliver some of their best solos on records -- and with George Duke on hand on one cut, you hear some preliminary flickerings of ...
