Veer - 154CD (2023)

by Das Rad

supported by

Michael Peers This line up consistently produces some of the most imaginative jazz prog fusion out there. Veer is the latest in a very distinguished line. Top stuff!!

John Cratchley I eagerly look forward to new music from Das Rad…it’s always inventive and peerless in performance…
Martin Archer’s Discus Music label is a haven of sonic excellence in these troubled times for me.
There are so many hidden gems that deserve greater exposure…you’d be well advised to explore this label in depth.

about

"The emotional level through compositions is capable of sudden and passionate outbursts, moments of profound tension and restlessness, as well as unexpected sweetness in evoking confused, distant emotions. Fantastic album." - Goran Čabrajić, NEW DAWN OF PROG

"For those of you who are still searching for contemporary progressive instrumental music, this is a fine treasure chest of delights." - Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery NYC

"Working as a quartet adds further strength to an already impressive body of work and this might be Das Rad’s best yet. Let’s see how the next few years unfold." - Mr Olivetti, FREQ,

For their fourth full length release since the band was formed in 2018, Das Rad has returned to basics with an expanded line up. Following on from two “lockdown” albums where the original trio worked mainly in their own studios, much of the basic tracking for Veer was played live. We also welcome bass guitarist Jon Short to the band for the first time, once again with a view on re-emphasizing live interaction in the music.

The showpiece is the 25 minute suite Expergefactor, which closes the album and which also features the extraordinary voice of Peter Rophone. But setting the scene for this finale, the preceding tracks variously revisit some stripped down krautrock / kosmiche based improv, virtuosic jazzrock, leftfield soundscaping and even (always tucked away somewhere in the music on previous albums) a short homage to the dubbed out sounds of Augustus Pablo.

Another Das Rad record where krautrock grooves, extended arrangements, free improvisation and electronic abstraction all meet in the creative centre of the sound.

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
