For Incommunicado, Kammerflimmer Kollektief brainchild Thomas Weber brought his experimental electronic music out of the bedroom to create a live album that brings together jazz, orchestral, and post-rock. Weber gave bandmates copies of Kollektief's debut, Mäander, and had them study the tone of the songs. The band then reinterpreted them live using guitar, strings, upright bass, and drums. The result is an album of improvised, nearly unstructured songs that, like Tortoise, find the meeting place between John Coltrane and Brian Eno. Tracks like "Nactwach" meander through a jazzy experimentalism, washing over the listener with distorted feelings and bruised and at times uplifting ambience. ~ Charles Spano
