The jazz quartet named MenschMaschine borrow from the overflowing pool of fragmentary songs by Kraftwerk, grooves from which so many, such as Jay-Z, still cut samples, and melodies that stick to the ear canal like tar. However, MenschMaschine does much more than simply steal a few good songs.
This Swiss band breathes organic life into the robot. They take Terminator's sunglasses off and send him on a boar hunt. Instead of speeding Audi Quattros on the highway, chocolate bunnies frolic. The pocket calculator is a pocket knife. Jazz can sometimes be like ketchup. Put it on everything, on 2s and 4s, with a little reharmonization here and there and suddenly a well-balanced pop menu is a child's birthday party, where every child is showing off. MenschMaschine could not be further from ketchup jazz. Wonderful songs stay wonderful songs but gain a new dimension. Kuster, Landolf, Utzinger, and Chesham dip the old number ones into southern sun, and techno songs from the land of sausages are warmed by burning embers.
