Kooler (2) – Kooler

Imagine FAX meeting ECM meeting Deep Listening Band, this would yield Kooler, un unusual release for Namlook but an excellent one.

"Kooler" is mainly referred to as an experimental Namlook's album, but I find it pretty digestible. Moreover, this is one of my Namlook's favourites, as some moments here are literally breathtaking. The sounds are crystal clear and deeply reverberated: saxophone/trumpet (mostly short solos and fragmentary puffs), guitar, faraway percussions, phone female voice and various electro-acoustic tricks Namlook is so famous for. I imagine myself floating through an empty futuristic city with huge buildings when listening to this album. A fascinating sonic adventure for open-minded people with high-quality audio equipment. Recommended.
