Our Take

Elliot Galvin's latest offering, "The Influencing Machine," is like a whirlwind of musical madness that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about jazz. From the first notes of the opening track, you can tell that you're in for a wild ride.

Galvin's unique blend of avant-garde jazz and electronic elements creates a sound that is truly one of a kind. It's as if Thelonious Monk and Aphex Twin had a love child and that child grew up to make music that defies all conventions.

Tracks like "March of the Sadistic Robots" and "The Principle of Inertia" showcase Galvin's impressive piano skills, while also pushing the boundaries of what jazz can be. The use of electronic beats and distorted vocals adds an otherworldly element to the music that keeps you on your toes.

But don't be fooled by the experimental nature of the album – there are moments of pure beauty and serenity scattered throughout. Tracks like "As Above, So Below" and "The Day the Earth Stood Still" offer a sense of calm amidst the chaos, showing off Galvin's ability to evoke emotion through his music.

Overall, "The Influencing Machine" is a captivating journey through the mind of one of the most innovative musicians working today. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or just looking for something new and exciting to listen to, this album is a must-hear. So sit back, relax, and let Elliot Galvin take you on a musical adventure like no other.
