Apparently recorded in late 2006 but not released until now, Mercury-nominated Polar Bear's third album is also their longest, and sees them making increasing use of electronics to add texture to their music. Songs like Goodbye dissolve from the kind of tuneful, genre-hopping upbeat cool jazz we recognise as Polar Bear's signature sound into a cloud of low-key electronic droning before transforming seamlessly into the following track, while Voices is out-and-out ambient jazz, and good with it. All the while Polar Bear weave through bop, fusion, free and any other kind of jazz they fancy with scant regard for conservative classicism, proving themselves yet again to be about the best band in the world in any musical field. Awesome.

This is a fantastic record - totally fresh sounding without leaving the familiar in the dust.
Funky, soulful, weird, it's got it all, without resorting to nu-jazz schmaltz or jamband noodlery.

5.Dim Lit by: Seb Rochford's Polar Bear

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Music : Dim Lit
This is a great album of quite unconventional and daring music from seb Rochford.An all acoustic lineup of 2 tenor saxes,bass and drums makes the whole thing harmonically sparse but the musicians make up for that with the interplay of the two front line sax men.most of the pieces are of a fairly slow tempo and i guess for me,what loses that 5th star is the fact that whilst the music is creative and cutting edge it is a little too mournfull and bleak at times.An alto or soprano sax would have given things a wellcome change of pace but that aside this is a superb album which i guess has roots in many different kinds of music.The saxophone playing is heavily Coltrane influenced,the percussion is quite sparse and loose and the bass plays a much bigger ...
