Slivovitz - Bani Ahead

On Bani Ahead, Slivovitz's delectable instrumental casserole of violin, woodwinds, harmonica, electric guitar, and rhythm section exhibits such finely calibrated ensemble playing that the players sound like a single organism, whether executing dizzying unison passages, engaging in ingeniously dovetailed melodic counterpoint, or supporting as impassioned solo. There's more richness of detail on Bani Ahead than on any ten albums by the latest vaunted 'neo-Prog' bands with a wholly refreshing lack of attitude or affect - there is no grandstanding here, just seven gifted, highly attuned instrumentalists playing their hearts out across a selection of exhilarating genre-agnostic original compositions that draw equal inspiration from art-rock, jazz, European classical music, and ethnic influences.
