Mantric Muse: Mantric Muse

The band is based in Copenhagen and has existed since 1996. The band members are: Magnus Hannibal: guitar and synths, Ola Eriksson: synth, samples and keys, Søren Hvilsby: drums with Michael Kroglund: bass. They don't just play music but they have a Philosophy (note the capital letter) which is, according to their website; "The music emerges from jam-sessions recorded at the rehearsal space. The recordings are then listened through, analysed, dissected, and arranged."

OK, so that's more a description of how the band creates their music than an actual philosophy but what can't be denied is (and here comes the what looks like faint praise) is how interesting and intricate Mantric Muse the band and Mantric Muse the album actually are. They are often lumped in reviews I've seen with Ozric Tentacles which is fair enough but they are well worthy of investigating on their own terms. Butt is well and truly kicked on tracks such as "Cinope" and "Sfunx" yet there's a whole lot of other stuff going on as well. This should be well up any reader of Sea of Tranquility's street as it is to coin a phrase which the kids use, "proper music."
