The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble - Pearls for Swine

If I had no idea what The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble is, I'd say that someone just composed the music for an oldschool horror movie and released it as independent album. I'd say it was one man, probably inspired by Angelo Badalamenti, but certainly younger and more attached to electronic effects. In the end, I'd probably be curious if the movie is good enough to compete with it's sound supplement.

Alas, there is no movie at all. TKDE indeed plays visual songs, but this time it's not one-man project. Consisting of six people, it incorporates gloomy, slow elements of modern jazz into hypnotic ambient backgrounds. It's creations are often driven by trombone or cello. With certain support from originally arranged percussion, these song turn into disturbing journey which is executed in a brilliant way. Though they are not shunning from trip-hop inspirations, creeps are the things that TKDE is out to make. Trust me - it works.

So, my dear compatriots: these guys are finally going to play in Poland! It's already confirmed: 9th of December 2009 is the date. 'Blue Note' in Poznań is the venue. For all climate lovers this Kilimanjaro is the must to climb.
