i love how this is both calm and very intricate, with lots of moods represented but at a distance.
is a lot of ecm stuff really like this? divine quiet epic music?
i should go back to those early necks records.
i think oren ambarchi's guitar work is definitely the glue that holds everything together, it's really central to how iv evolves especially.

The last Necks record, ‘Three’, was somewhat in this vein. Otherwise the closest fits are ‘Hanging Gardens’, ‘Drive-By’ and ‘Chemist’ I think.
In terms of ECM, I’d try Nik Bartsch’s Ronin and Mobile projects.

One of the Mobile albums is even called “Ritual Groove Music” which is a great description of this general style.

I wish "Hubris" was a genre so I could listen to stuff like it all day (now I just listen to "Hubris" all day)

Ghosted II out today. I thought the first one was good but not great; very into this one though.

OMG i love this so much already
― Tim F, Friday, 26 April 2024 22:06 (one month ago) link
Yeah I love this too. It's basically a Necks album with guitar instead of piano, like fr.
