Electric Avenue Tapes by Tied + Tickled Trio released on Clearspot in 2001.
Tied&Tickled Trios current album “Electric Avenue Tapes” is one of the most creative and original fusions of acoustic improvisation and electronica based arrangements that I’ve heard in a long time. This is not an album where people blow over beats, but one where the basic jazz trio format (sax/bass/drums) is given a novel inflection by an expressive yet ultimately economic use of programming. This is a record with a constantly shifting stylistic centre: it ambles languorously from parched gritty electronica where fragmented melodies create hazy afterglow to sprightly soulful dance tunes tastefully seasoned by subtle Afro Asian rhythmic pulses...
