Chromosomos is a Polish ensemble with varied influences, from Balkan and
Near Eastern folk music, klezmer, eastern European new music, post-rock,
and the funk Jazz fusion of M-Base. Throw in a dash of electric Ornette
Coleman, and you start to get the idea. Quite heavy on the virtuoso guitar
solo, this project avoids slipping into the quagmire of Jazz-rock fusion
by virtue of its intelligent compositions and folk influences. If you enjoy
the more rock tinged recordings of Knitting factory Records you should give
this a listen. It is also very well recorded.
