"Imagine aliens have landed in the middle of a junkyard, found some bizarre gadgets to use as instruments, smoked a load of weed, then decided to make an album, man. From the frozen lands of the fjords, Get On have revived the 'concept album', exploring 'man's diversified relationship to electricity'[...] Their home-made approach to production yields a kind of avant-prog electronica, loosely based on experimental jazz and epic progressive rock. 'V' sounds like Yes on speed, 'Electricity' sets 70s jazz fusion against a disjointed soundscape of skittering beats, and a freeform flute chases the mad, spatial drumming on 'ECG'. It's head music for the happy few who dig this." Mimi Kerns

â€Try to drive a car to for instance "Mhz", and you will lose your driver's license. Because this races on like smoke. It is jazz camouflaged in high-wired electronics, intensely pulsating drum'n bass, oblique melody lines, exciting use of effects and redeeming turns. A real kick of a band, something those who heard the group at Vossa Jazz this year can endorse."
