Lohja in Jazz is a tranquil and definitely experimental track. It begins with an odd drumline, with experiments like high pitched bassdrum or pitch slide effect on hats. Later, it is accompanied by a sound that lasts till the end of the song and it's actually the thing I like least here. It sounds very depressing and... hm... tiring I'd say. Lohja In Jazz has lots of solos that sound pretty like improvisation. Sometimes the artist experiments here too, for example - pitch bend on the lead bell (it sounds really interesting). Anyway, they are nice and cool, I think they are the strongest part of the song. What lets the tune down a bit, is its monotonous tone, the background quite invariable and boring after a while; and the everlasting sound playing all the time isn't the best idea imho. But the bassline earns the song a good point, together with the bongos that appear in the second part of the song. But they, too, could variate a bit. Finally, I have to state that his song is original. I haven't heard such tracks before and thumbs up for experimenting with music. :) Well I guess not everybody will enjoy this track, but there definitely IS something in it. Technically, no fireworks or special effects. Everything is set pretty well - volumes, panning. Samples, most of which are 16bit are not bad, although their usage is pretty original =). Tracker effects also applied with an innovative thought.
