Sunset Mission

It's Sunday, February 26 1933. You're in Berlin At a Jazz club. You have a bad feeling. But you're also very horny.

Interesting... I started listening to this not having any idea what it was at the gym and decided it was a kind of dark jazz, then when I looked at the Wikipedia later saw it was indeed dark jazz... which I didn't know was a thing. Reminds me of something Duke Silver would play. I liked it!

Simple but perfect. I love jazz and it sounds like it would fit perfectly in any film noir movie with a private detective, which is one of my favorite things. This was awesome.

Precis så här ska jazz låta. La till hela plattan på min Spotifylista.

"Doom jazz" is a micro-genre that barely exists outside of Bohren and a handful of others apparently. This is music for people who think regular jazz is too upbeat and doom metal is too energetic. It's aggressively niche. And I'm all here for it. Not sure if such a niche album should be on a 1001 album list, but this is one of the best things I've heard in a while. Insanely slow tempos, beats landing at exactly the right moment. My Dying Bride if they made noir jazz. The rock influences have disappeared, this is all atmosphere. Everything drags, everything lingers. An atmosphere of calm with an ominous menace underneath. The dark power of the saxophone in all its glory. Even the aesthetic of the album cover is pure film noir/neo-noir This isn't an album with standout tracks. You put it on and let it wash over you. It sustains its 50-minute runtime completely. So delightfully moody, balanced perfectly.

Only listened to the first two tracks so far, while taking (very) short stroll to the shops and back. I suspect that I'll very much enjoy the rest of this cool, laid back jazz very much, so it'll get a preemptive top score. Nice. Smooth. Great. 👌

From the album art and artist names I was expecting some sort of weird dub/IDM LP, so I was pleasantly surprised to get a strong dose of excellent Jazz. The album name fits perfectly – this LP is evening embodied, incredibly strong nighttime vibes conveyed by perfect instrumental performances and a strong sense of melodic presence. The runtime could have flirted with disaster, but each track embodies such a different feeling that the 75-minute experience never drags or wears on the listener. I do think one has to be in the right mindset to listen to this album in full (I was stuck on a morning shift watching the sun rise, and it fit perfectly), but I hope everyone here has the chance to experience this in the right mood and feel as immersed as I did. Amazing add!

Apple Music said this was ‘alternative’ but I found it to be laid back slowly evolving jazz. Wikipedia described it as DARK JAZZ which is extremely badass. Good listen better genre

Listen to this while reading Dashiell Hammett’s “The Maltese Falcon”. Big mood shit. Big vibes. Not too much going on, but it also is a very rich album. I enjoyed a lot. 4/5

Really good and chill..... I would like to mention Angelo Badalamenti though? Still, very good.

What a vibe wasn’t sure at first as I was putting up Christmas decorations. Kind of made it melancholy but nostalgic at the same time. Cool stuff.

Wow really interesting jazz album, very atmospheric really enjoyed this one I’ll hopefully come back to.

I'm a hard boiled detective and it's a rainy night..

Very relaxing jazz. I like this more than some of those chaotic kinds

Jazz, dark ambient. Agradable pero muy lento. Ni fu ni fa.

This will be a very useful album if I ever have to find some conspicuous footsteps and other wacky clues with my handy dandy magnifying glass in a dark alleyway while wearing a black coat and a hat. It's alright. Extremely Twin Peaks, to the point where you'll have yourself saying: "Why am I not just listening to the Twin Peaks soundtrack right now."

Based on the band name I was expecting something much more terrible than a lofi jazz album. This was truly enjoyable and was easy to get lost into the slow tunes of the piano and brass. Not sure why it’s doom jazz as a good bit of jazz is best with darker undertones but it’s solid. I’d listen to this again and would explore more of this band. Very nice choice. 7.3/10

Way atmospheric (maybe one means vibesy) and one fully enjoys (being a firm believer that slow is better than fast [and more difficult to play] and quiet should be the new loud everywhere it's not already). Then again, listening to this, one keeps looking up to see if the movie has started (a movie one will almsot certainly like). One likes the genre and rounding up because jazz needs friends and glad recommender reecommended but one suspects this will be rather easy picking for Algo and the Bots to cover.

Rating: 7/10

Sunset Mission is a noir jazz album. Also ambient is stated everywhere, but that is the tempo and atmosphere, not the style. It is a nice album with soundscapes that fit perfectly to a film noir movie. That is also a bit my problem with this album as it sounds like background music. It doesn't really grab your attention. Still very entertaining and southing music.

Frequently asked question, is this a new song yet? Ambient with sax I guess? Fine but it just faded into the background for me. Maybe more active listening or a more sophisticated palate on my part would have revealed a greater depth.

Pretty nice 3

To be frank it was gore

Real nice

Cool jazz. Nothing to be annoyed about here.

It's fine but once you've heard one song you've heard the rest. If you think of background jazz music, this is exactly what you think it wound sound like. It's not bad, it's just there. My personal rating: 3/5 My rating relative to the list: 3/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No.

Dark, slow jazz. Both kind of cool to hear a modern spin, yet still unbearably boring

Sunset Mission brings moody, dark jazz to the party. Not really a party though, it's just background music. 2.

Like listening to the Twin Peaks Soundtrack on quaaludes.

Punky gothy jazzy and weird. Not for me, but potentially interesting to some.

Why? Of all the music in the world this is the one you chose??

Hi, and welcome to Jazz Club. Shite.
