Steve Jansen's solo album on Samadhi Sound


 

Presenting Steve Jansen's new album, "Slope". Tension underlies the crisp rhythms and intricate programming, while a collection of distinctive vocalists draw out the sentiment in his songwriting. As Jansen explains, "with this album I approached composition attempting to avoid chord and song structures and the usual familiar building blocks. instead I wanted to piece together unrelated sounds, music samples, rhythms and 'events' in an attempt to deviate from my own trappings as a musician."

The album features guest contributions from Tim Elsenburg, Thomas Feiner, Anja Garbarek, Nina Kinert, David Sylvian, Theo Travis and Joan Wasser (Joan As Policewoman). Presented as ever in a beautiful digipak with design by Chris Bigg.

Full track list:

  1. Grip
  2. Sleepyard
  3. Cancelled Pieces featuring Anja Garbarek
  4. December Train
  5. Sow The Salt
  6. Gap Of Cloud
  7. Playground Martyrs
  8. A Way Of Disappearing
  9. Ballad Of A Deadman featuring David Sylvian & Joan Wasser
  10. Conversation Over
  11. Life Moves On
  12. Playground Martyrs (reprise) featuring Nina Kinert
