It seems this blog hasn’t been updated lately. I still think it’s a great idea, though, so I’m pleased to share the following:

It’s a creepy, ambient vibe with an amazing bass line that manages to suck me in and keep me guessing at the same time as it juxtaposes solid riffing with asymmetrical time signatures. I don’t know much about the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble, but I dig their stuff. I suppose “darkjazz” is a good enough genre label, though “ambient” might work. At their best they sound like something between Aphex Twin and Medeski, Martin and Wood.
