Life in Times of the Big Crunch (feat. Niels Klein, Lars Duppler, Hanno Busch & Jonas Burgwinkel)

by Tubes & Wires

supported by

Dave Lynch Retaining their space age instrumentation, Niels Klein’s Tubes and Wires dial back the quirky on their sophomore outing for a first-rate album of European electric jazz. To listeners of a certain age (i.e., old), post-Canterbury highlight “Backward Happiness” might suggest a peak Softs, Phil Miller or Alan Gowen composition, while the eerie “Perpetual Waves” trades Lost in Space for The Day the Earth Stood Still. Look up or don’t look up; enjoy while there’s still time. Favorite track: Backward Happiness.

Very imaginative record with beautiful compositions! Highly recommended! I love the vibe of "Backward happiness"! Favorite track: Backward Happiness.

Robby der Roboter graces the cover of this debut by German reedman Klein’s Tubes and Wires; such retro-futurism suits the quartet’s jazzrocktronica — bits and bytes of synthy music (“Track,” “Skip”) for flying saucer tape decks. But listeners with a creative jazz bent should strap in for the longer rides. “Snow” is an evocative, multifaceted gem, and the solemn “End” even features acoustic guitar. You might enjoy that down-to-earth touch. After all, you are not a robot. Dave Lynch
