{"product_id":"9-10","title":"9","description":"Audio Mixer: Helge Sten.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: Henie Onstad Art Center (03\/20\/2009-03\/22\/2009).\u003cbr\u003eNorwegian avant-garde quartet Supersilent lost drummer Jarle Vespestad at the end of 2008, and rather than replace him (their music having never been particularly rhythm-driven), they opted to continue on as a trio. However, in so doing they all abandoned their own musical comfort zones to one degree or another. 9 was recorded over the course of three days at Henie Onstad arts center, outside Oslo, and finds each of the three remaining members -- Arve Henriksen, best-known as a trumpeter; Helge Sten (electronics, keyboards, guitar); and keyboardist Ståle Storlokken -- playing Hammond organ and nothing else. This could be a recipe for ultimate tedium, but it's not. These guys stray far away from the Jimmy Smith\/Larry Young school of Hammond playing, and instead head into a subterranean cave network of near-ambient interplay reminiscent of classic, early Tangerine Dream titles like Zeit and Atem. The disc's four minimally titled tracks (\"9.1\" through \"9.4\") offer lots of oozing and throbbing, with just a few hints of melody here and there. Highly recommended even to Supersilent newcomers. ~ Phil Freeman","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169086325023,"sku":"7033662020928","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/e42ab1397fa97020f07684d38d7885c9.jpg?v=1777890031","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/9-10","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
