rcd 2069 - food: molecular gastronomy

now down to the duo of iain ballamy and thomas strønen, food looks to be more active than ever. this, their fifth album, was recorded by jeremy cox over a period of two years and mixed by ashley slater, who also contributes on three tracks. maria kannegaard plays fender rhodes on five tracks.

strønen, considered to be one of norway´s most inventive drummers, was always an important writer in food and it´s fair to say that a good amount of their earlier output was written as opposed to improvised. “molecular gastronomy”, however, is mostly improvised, much in the same way as the music of strønen’s other duo humcrush.

given the new set-up and a fresh approach, it´s also natural that ballamy, without doubt one of the great british sax players of his generation, gets more room for his excellent playing. finally, this is also a great sounding album!

rcd 2055 - humcrush: hornswoggle

the second album from the duo that is thomas strønen (food) and ståle storløkken (supersilent), now simply calling themselves humcrush, after the title of their debut from 2004. ”hornswoggle” is an alltogether more developed, varied and subtle collection of tracks, going from downright funky to abstract grooves from thomas while ståle is in his most melodic and atmospheric mood. comparable to supersilent’s most structured and accesible moments, this is an excellent addition to the catalogue.

rcd 2051 - thomas strønen: pohlitz

thomas strønen is one of norway´s most prolific drummers, known from food, humcrush, parish, maria kannegaard trio and others, where he has often also taken on the role of writer and arranger and sometimes producer. ”pohlitz” is the 30th record he appears on, but his very first solo album. all the material is written, arranged and produced by thomas, but is, originally enough, a percussion record completely without ordinary drums. the music is improvised, with focus on details and melodic elements and with references to minimalists like (early) steve reich, traditional gamelan music and fellow norwegian arne nordheim´s classic electronic music.
