KTU: Sumu

By

View read count
Of all the offshoots on the King Crimson family tree, this may probably be the weirdest. Trey Gunn and Pat Mastelotto make a beastly rhythm section as ever, exploring somewhere between Miles Davis electric funk and the extensive groov-a-thons of prime Can. In this one-of-a-kind outfit they are put through the sampling/processing wringer by alchemist Samuli Kosminen and driven wild by accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen, who has to be either unhinged or possessed by the devil.
