i'm not sure why i picked this album up - neither the name of the band nor the name of the album sounds to promising. plus its jazz. and, in my mind, most jazz is either about showing off your technical ability or about providing comfy background music. cnq seems not too concerned with either (not that i doubt their technical skills - i just don't care). this is jazz with attitude. as i don't know anything about jazz that's about the best i can do to describe it. but listening to the album names like max richter, amon tobin, goran bregovic, tom waits (wouldn't a goran-tom album be a great idea?) and even some post-rock bands - the start of goodbye monster is not miles away from do make say think, for example.
