Tim I love the twist within the second song when Mario Party 2 Mysteryland-themed game music turns into badass fuzz.
great instrumentation and stylistic variety, this is as trippy as Groove can get.

Wetfinger Update OK, this Exotica LP and Artifacts by Black Flowers, are now the two best Jazz LPs released in the past decade, waiting to see what they release next on SDBan-Bam! Favorite track: 10 Dollar Jeans Jacket.

about

Compro Oro; a psychedelic underground road trip to Africa, the Middle East and the Americas via Belgium.
On the band’s new album ‘Suburban Exotica’ the spirit of Cal Tjader, Mulatu Astatke or Marc Ribot is never far away. One of the leading bands in the ever-expanding new wave of Belgian jazz, Compro Oro's wayward and psychedelic approach to a broad range of sounds has gained them a devoted fan base since the band’s formation in 2014.
Produced by Gent-based multi-instrumentalist Dijf Sanders, ‘Suburban Exotica’ digs deep into several ethnic music traditions, leaving the listener enthralled in dark grooves and rabid psychedelica.
From the danceable beats and colourful sounds of ‘Miami New Wave’, the exotic rhythms and textures of ‘10 Dollar Jeans Jacket’, and the curious vibraphone infusions and wild guitar riffs of ‘Rastapopoulos’, to the heady, bass-laden mover and shaker ‘Lalibela’ and traditional latin and cuban rhythms of ‘Dark Crystal’, Compro Oro offer wild, profound and uncanny flavours that explore the best of afro-cuban music and jazz tinged psychedelia.
‘Suburban Exotica’ features drummer, keyboardist and percussionist Joachim Cooder, son of guitar legend Ry Cooder who played on both the landmark Buena Vista Social Club albums and the Manuel Galban spin-off, Mambo Sinuendo. He adds percussion and his effects-laden electric mbira to three tracks on the album; ‘Miami New Wave’, ‘Rastapopoulos’ and ‘Dark Crystal’. “I had a great time playing on this record. Compro Oro blends together so many interesting rhythms and styles that I never knew what was coming next. I like to work that way.”

Adventurous hybrid jazz at its best. I struggle to describe why this stands out above a crowd, but... It all sounds so precise. Every instrument fills its own space so that, as busy as it gets, it never feels crowded. It breathes easy while full of energy. In case I'm not making sense, this, in short, is brilliant. Added bonus that the vocal track doesn't stand out negatively as those too often do on otherwise instrumental albums. Heavy rotation, and the best jazz-related album of 2022. rvss.eel

An experience that proves to be both extraordinarily smooth with just as spritz of funky, the band perfectly captures the devil-may-care vibes of 1960's cinema scores. Fractal Sliver

I saw Taxiwars at Moods at Bruges(Belgium). The concert there blew me away. The drive with which the musicians performed was mind blowing. You could see they were enjoying themselves to the fullest. djhemispheres
