Our Take
Our Take
There are albums that push the boundaries of music, and then there's MASAYUKI JOJO TAKAYANAGI & NEW DIRECTION FOR THE ARTS' Free Form Suite. This avant-garde masterpiece takes experimental jazz to new heights, offering a sonic experience that is as mesmerising as it is challenging.
From the moment you press play, you're transported into a world of discordant melodies and unpredictable rhythms. Takayanagi's electric guitar skills are on full display, weaving in and out of the album's intricate compositions with effortless grace. The rest of the band members follow suit, creating a cacophony of sound that is both chaotic and beautiful.
Tracks like "Noise" and "Free Form Suite Part 2" showcase the band's ability to create tension and release in equal measure. The frenetic energy of the music is palpable, leaving you on the edge of your seat as you try to anticipate what comes next. And just when you think you have it figured out, the band throws another curveball, keeping you guessing until the very end.
In a music landscape filled with cookie-cutter pop songs, Free Form Suite is a breath of fresh air. It's not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, the rewards are plentiful. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let MASAYUKI JOJO TAKAYANAGI & NEW DIRECTION FOR THE ARTS take you on a journey unlike any other.
