New CCO satellite Büro (founded for the German label's more acoustic-based projects) has got out some nice first couple albums by likes of One Second Bridge and The Gentleman Losers, so this is where they decide to draw their big guns - pay some attention please. Some of you should be salivating already: looks like Conjoint can't help but do quality jazz, with Empty Chairs their 3rd and also first live record. Get rid of the crowd noise, find some simple but good ideas, treat them with instrumentation layed out so smoothly that it's hard not to get caught up in daydreams as it circles around, slowly pushing you into its world rather than vice-versa. I started off with a somewhat lukewarm opinion, but really began to appreciate and was won over by the band's great sense of melody, plus always perfect electronic punches. Just mix a drink, make yourself comfy and enjoy all that it is.

Again: you make my day, especially since this is not yet available over here (yet).
Have you heard the other couple of releases by Conjoint? If so, how are they? (I'm not sure I'll be able to get my hands on this specific release before the special bonus disc version--with the released first album-- evaporates, so I wanted to know if I should go digging...).
A million thanks,

everything they touch is gold. got their other 2 records on KM 20 and Source Rec., ear candy my brother. looking for their first myself - worth tracking down the double-version indeed. hope they'll finally get some exposure and i hope my bank account can keep up with all this goodness..
