Urban Sax - Inside

**flytomars** · 07-12-2014

Apparently there is a "new" (half a year old) album out by Urban Sax, and I just found out about it now...
I am not expecting much musically, compared to the older releases, but this one came out in a format that imho was invented for this band - 5.1 surround.
Anyone here had a chance to listen to it and care to comment?

I was told its expensive and disappointing...

I bought the vinyl back in the 70's, but haven't listened to them for decades.

Wow, great news ! I still have their first two, ambient masterpieces !

Is there anywhere I can hear legal camples ?? I would hate to piss-off the politically correct elitist faction around here.

30 seconds camples in the label site:http://urban-noisy.com/release/inside/

And also some YT clips-
Dont know how to share these by phone, just search for Urban Sax Inside and the first results should do.

Expensive - yes, very,
I hope not too disappointing as I already pushed the "buy" button

I would pay alot to listen to even a mediocre Urban Sax but in surround sound...

I have only heard bits and pieces by this band before, so I can't really say how this one compares to their previous work but I have it and I think it's amazing.

Beautiful, expansive and psychedelic. I can't stop playing it.
If this is considered disappointing I can't wait to dive into the back catalogue.

What do folk consider their best album?

I like Urban Sax II the most,
But also like their fourth album which is probably closer to the last one-
More world music influences and less minimal than the first 2, but I think some parts of it are etheral.
I have to say I am not too familiar with their collaboration with Pierre Henry, and listening right now to camples in YT this one sounds very very interesting...

Thanks for the camples link ! Definitely the Urban Sax sound, with a bit more melody, and yet still ethereal. I'm buying it ! (no 5.1 system here though
