Italian collective Torino Unlimited Noise is at the forefront of this new sound, drawing on the history of jazz and futurism of techno to cook up brand new sounds that are challenging yet compelling. The band is made up of Gianni Denitto on sax, effects and loops, Fabio Giachino on synth and Mattia Barbieri on drums and drum pads. They are virtuoso live performers who never fail to get their audiences in raptures. They do that again now on this avant-garde new album.
The excellent 'New Doors' (also single track) kicks things off and is an intense and energetic track with booming bass and glitchy hits all run through with freeform jazz sax, modal melodies and a true sense of musical expression. 'Sahara' is a hyper-speed workout with impressive live drums. Sci-fi synths and a noodling lead sax weave their way in and out of the busy arrangement and take you on a real trip. 'City Card' is another expressionist live piece that ebbs and flows on tumbling drums, walking bass and gentle sax stabs, while Peacefulness provides a chance to catch your breath amongst more soothing keys and sax lines.
The second half of the EP kicks off with 'Tunz,' a perfect coming together of the physical power of techno - thanks to the booming drum work - and the improvised, unrestrained nature of jazz. The high powered 'Unlimited Noise' is like Detroit techno played by an ensemble of paranoid jazz musicians, and closer 'Balon' rides up and down on lurching broken beats, with withering saxophone and frazzled bass all consuming your soul.
This is a hugely inventive and accomplished EP of perfectly hybridised sounds from one of the most exciting bands in the underground.
