Our Take

Let's dive into the sonic experiment that is CLOUDMAKERS TRIO's latest offering, "Abstract Forces." This album is like taking a musical rollercoaster through a psychedelic dreamscape, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat (or in this case, your headphones).

From the opening track, "Cosmic Cascade," you can tell that the Cloudmakers Trio are not your average jazz group. Their fusion of electronic effects, intricate time signatures, and mind-bending solos creates a sound that is both otherworldly and yet strangely familiar.

Tracks like "Nebula Dance" and "Zero Gravity Groove" showcase the Trio's ability to blend complex harmonies with infectious grooves that will have you tapping your feet while also scratching your head in awe. It's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube while dancing on a tightrope – challenging, but oh so satisfying.

The album reaches its peak with the epic closer, "Interstellar Jam," a 15-minute opus that takes you on a musical journey through the cosmos and back. The intricate interplay between the trio members is nothing short of mesmerising, like watching three musical magicians perform a high-wire act without a safety net.

In conclusion, "Abstract Forces" is a bold, daring album that pushes the boundaries of what jazz can be. With its blend of innovation, technical prowess, and sheer musicality, the Cloudmakers Trio have created a masterpiece that is sure to delight both seasoned jazz aficionados and newcomers alike. So strap in, dear listeners, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the sonic stratosphere with CLOUDMAKERS TRIO.
