The Samuel Jackson Five - Same Same But Different (2004)

The debut album from this band from Norway.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, theremin, piano, organ, synths and samples.

Two guests added drums and violins.

This band has so far released five albums and they are all up for reviews this autumn in this blog. 

The band can loosely be associated with the Norwegian progressive rock scene although their music is different from the normal prog rock fare.

The band plays instrumental math rock. 

The band has mixed in some RIO and a lot of post rock in their take on math rock. 

The music is mainly guitar based. But there is some tasty organs and piano here too. A violin also adds to their sound.

The music is also medium paced and not particular intense. Neither is the music particular laidback and relaxed. 

The result is a decent enough album who may please the math rock crowd a lot. Check out this album if esoteric music is your thing.
