I've been trying, and for the most part failing, to find groups that sound like Wibutee. There isn't anything like their combination of mind-blowing saxophone/woodwind playing (from Hakon Kornstad) with very musically sophisticated electronic effects. I listen again and again to Eight Domestic Challenges and Playmachine, and each time I listen to the pieces in these albums, I hear something new that I hadn't noticed before. Their music is catchy, so I can enjoy it on a completely 'sensual' level as such, but I can also get satisfaction on a more intellectual level if I focus on the complexity of the music and its nuances.
Hakon Kornstad is outstanding in the first and last songs on this album. It's worth it just for his playing alone, but the sheer richness of the other sounds made by the group make every song on this album something I will listen to on repeat with complete fascination each time.
