IN THE KINGDOM OF KITSCH YOU WILL BE A MONSTER - is not that a saucooler title? devised have him the Norwegian Shining (not to be confused with the same name in Sweden, but the play so suicidal black metal & since called his records otherwise) for her second studio album from 2005 ... and the music of composer / multi-instrumentalist JORGEN Munkeby ( sax, flute, clarinet, Akai EWI, electric & Acousic guitars, bass, Rhodes, synth, piano, accordion, mellotron, harmonium, church organ, celesta, voice, string & drum programming, editing) and his colleagues (rhodes, synths, Clavinet, celesta, casio sampler, drum machine, mellotron, bass, handclap, drums, percussion, french horn, trombone, trumpet, gran cassa, tam-tam, tubular bells, gongs) is no less original and eccentric, therefore - on the foundation of a playful-aggressive jazz rocks it goes furiously through all imaginable styles and genres, oblique rio / avant-garde rock and all sorts of electronic (from gentle ambient sounds to wild-noisigem squeaking) are most clearly out audibly, to be joined by post-rocking guitar walls like the opener GORETEX WEATHER REPORT (haha!), lyric melancholic 50s jazz & klezmer echoes (ROMANI), darkly timid soundtrack-like with creepiness (31 = 300 = 20), acoustic folk jazz kammerprog (WHERE DEATH COMES TO CRY) and complex sci-fi bombast-electronic-prog (THE SMOKING DOG ), to adopt its shimmering-hectic (REDRUM), edged and violent (PERDURABO), scraped-freiformatig (Aleister Explains Everything), playful-symphonic (MAGAZINE RWRK) and at the end sometimes elegiac properly worn (YOU CAN TRY THE BEST YOU CAN which, finally, has just before the end but then lospoltert crying out loud the band a reputation to lose ...) thus again nix for the representatives of the "pure doctrine" (regardless of the genre), IN THE KINGDOM ... is really eclectic, pretty entertaining (not just because of playing time of just 39 minutes), very varied, highly entertaining and Personally I like even a trace better than later, contaminated with shrill avant-garde metal albums of Combo (Black Jazz, Live Black Jazz (Ltd.Edition Incl.Dvd), One One One)
