“You must be this tall to ride” signs in front of roller coasters are usually seen as just a rule. Often times they are also warnings. Observing Systems opens with saxes and horns blaring in harmony before the bass line moves in and starts the “official” song.
Listener “A” sees this as a warning thinking “Oh, god this could get weird.”
Listener “B” sees this as an invitation and thinks “Fuck yeah I fucking love jazz.”
Continuing with this roller coaster analogy, Observing Systems broadcasts their fire alarm sound after a steep, exceptional build up of Mouse on Mars-esque IDM. But don't let that put you off, The Tickled Trio loves to scream down their own ascent, they just like to earn it. It's a lot more satisfying that way.
I'm also posting their great “live” album Electric Avenue Tapes because parts of it are more spastic and fun than Observing Systems and that is not a bad thing.
