At the start, I would like to paste here a quote from "Jakuzi's Attempt" myspace page: "Jakuzi's Attempt can be described as an "apex infant prodigy" declaiming and screaming that bears resemblance to an opulent baroque Austrian monster, tourist could easily confuse with Mozart."
Sounds interesting, eh? Not only interesting, but promising. But usually a band description using cool words such as "apex" and "opulent" ends up being not so cool and the only true part that is left is the fact that they are Austrian. Well, this ain't no such band.
From the very opening featuring a jazzy yet maniacal guitar, to the closing screams and drums, "Jakuzi's Attempt" gives you a ride you don't forget so easily and in fact want to go at it again. Usually I frown at someone using the term "experimental", but I have to admit that I would use the said genre name here. Let me elaborate that a bit.
As it is written above, the jazz guitar on speed opens the first song and is soon followed by other instruments jumping in, accompanied with a "talking", higher pitched vocal. I describe it like that since it kinda sounds to me like he wants to scream or yell at someone but is close to falling to the floor and whining so he can't. It sounds great, worry not. Anyway, through the song the instruments build up the heaviness, much like the vocal does with its transformation into screaming. And then in the middle, when you expect that everything is going to explode, it all just falls down upon you in a wave of slow, sensitive, atmospheric and gentle humming-like singing and background music. Yet at the end it explodes again, like it's the last drop of strength the band has, which sounds amazing.
Then you move onto the second song, called "Freedom" where the explosive end of the first track continues and then drops into literally nothingness, distortion creating a passage for some impressive guitar and bass effect usage, background drums playing and a repetitive "I built myself a flying machine" by the singer, making this a really eerie song.
Now I won't describe the other two songs, let that be a discovery of your own, but you probably get the general picture. There are no boundaries for this band, not limiting themselves to a specific type of song structure or style, literally experimenting with what they can create, throwing everything they can at you, while doing so with top notch uniqueness. The amount of different emotions they invoke through their songs is incredible and at times you have a feeling that you are listening to several bands, not just one. They make atypical music, fusing various elements into an amalgam of excellence which is called "III".
Thus, it is completely "approved" for them having the written words from the begining of this post and not being pretentious and full of it in the process. A highly recommended band, give them support, they deserve it.
