The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble - The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble (2006)
Score: 4,770; Length: 1:08:54; 11 tracks
I accidentily came across this band. I was planning to go to a concert of 'King Cannibal' and 'The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble' was one of the other acts that would perform that same evening. The name of the band got me instantly interested and when noticing that Jason Köhnen, better known as Bong-Ra, was one of the lead-members of the band, I couldn't wait to hear it. When you're only thirty seconds into this album, you know they will take you on a long deep trip. 'The Nothing Changes' is such a subtle moving dark masterpiece and sets the mood for the whole album. It even gets better at 'Pearls For Swine' when they mix these same kind of moods with some proper beats, eventually leading into an outrageous breakcore part, something you can only expect in a jazzband when Jason is involved. The rest of the album doesn't have breakcore elements at all, as far as I can hear. That doesn't mean the beats are gone, though, don't worry! It moves on as an ever evolving emotional masterpiece, and I repeat, masterpiece. The whole album has so much dept, it's amazing. This absolutely falls in the 'must-have' category for people that get excited when hearing about a cinematic jazz band creating a very dark everchanging atmosphere, supported by just the right amount of electronica.
