10.0

/Post-rock, Krautrock, Psychedelic, Alternative, Leftfield, Avant-rock, Jazz, Improvised music/

Comment: Skala Collective is a trio from Poland whose music is filled with experiments in electronics, improvised music and peripheral rock concepts. Recently they issued their brand new album called Sleepy Dancing under Clinical Archives, a legendary Russian experimental label. Skalkulator was publicized as the debut album in 2005 which is a blend of indie music and more experimental angles and facets of rock sound. For instance, it includes the elements of krautrock, and humming jazz-y feeling. On the strength of this there can be drawn parallels upon the likes of Tortoise, Maserati, Sea And Cake, The Dylan Group, Six Parts Seven, Mercury Program. These 7 compositions are an instance of impelling force, more concretely, conveying enthralling tension between improvised elements and sonic determination. It is an absolutely astonishing, must be monumentum.
