Review by Alastis Jul 06, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
B&DCoG are from Germany and while they are not famous worldwide (not yet), selected (and lucky) few know about their brand of "horror-jazz". This is the sort of music that You can drown in, so to speak - slow, seductive and quite spooky in many aspects. In a way, it reminds me of the music produced by Aussies Dirty Three with only difference being the fact that violin is replaced with saxophone. This is definitely not Your average FM jazz, nor it is any close to Kenny G brand of new age boredom.
