Twet

I've listened to some American free jazz albums, and they really don't seem like anything special. They were probably ear melting for the generations in the 50s, though, but today, they're a relic of the past.

The same can't be said for European Free Jazz. TWET doesn't rely on screeching saxophones, nor an overall abundance of noise, but rather a meticulous arrangement of mysterious ambiance. Dark Awakening is exactly the mysteriousness I'm looking for, and Men of the North's rambunctious energy with a great drum solo near the end uses all ten and a half minutes very well! A good gateway into the EU side of free jazz.
