Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra - Take Off!
SKU
05-ALIENTRANSISTOR018
This huge, 20 piece German band, led by Daniel Gatzel who composes all the music, mixes some pop elements with jazz and traditional classical music touches, as well as exotica and beyond. It doesn't necessarily push stylistic envelopes, but it's a gloriously scored and rich sound - how could it NOT be with all these instruments playing live - and this is really nice and a much too rare experience in terms of orchestral color combined with music that I actually care about. Not strictly jazz, definitely not strictly rock or pop and not strictly anything but cool and fun and well done. Great cover art and beautiful/cool comix-style art booklet. Conditionally recommended.
