MWM005 || Badun - Tandoori Tentacle
With the Tandoori Tentacle EP, the Danish trio Badun further refines their exploration of the permeable borders between jazz and electronic synthesis. The release serves as a high-fidelity intersection of intelligent drum & bass, ambient textures, and post-jazz fusion, resulting in a cohesive piece of musical art that defies rigid categorization.
The arrangements are notably vibrant, utilizing a rich palette that includes live tabla, electric and electronic bass, and the classic warmth of the Rhodes piano, all anchored by sophisticated laptop-based beat programming. Tandoori Tentacle exemplifies Badun’s ability to melt traditional instrumentation into a digital framework, creating a sound that is as rhythmically complex as it is harmonically fluid. It remains a standout example of the “Mindwaves sound”—sophisticated, cross-genre, and technically masterful.
