Comment: these 1339 seconds as one composition by a French quartet called Melmac used to unveil something mind-provoking and emotionally arousing through slow progressions on guitars, drums, saxophones, and electronics. However, one can hear multifold progressions and improvisations at the same time. It meets at a crossroad of space rock, free jazz, post-rock and knee-deep improvisations. Regarding jazz it provides many forms under the umbrella – from noisy frantic progressions to more complicated modal jazz developments. By rock music side it embraces many forms of experimental rock – from India-alike meditative droning and enchanting semi-orchestrations and repetitive magic and spaced-out psychedelic apotheosis. One can figure out parallels with such a wide scope of artists as Spiritualized, John Coltrane, Borbetomagus, GY!BE. This spellbinding outing is a bit of the discography of Hinah.
