The song begins with a moving atmosphere that combines prog rock elements\u00a0with the freedom and improvisation of free jazz. The rhythm section creates a fascinating\u00a0groove\u00a0that feels both nostalgic, while the guitar jumps around funk-inspired\u00a0licks and complicated melodies. This funk-rock section adds an energy and bright dimension to the arrangement, providing it an enthusiastic playful feel despite its intellectual jazz roots. What differentiates &#8220;Astro Disco&#8221; is its mood, which brings the golden days of experimental jazz fusion without being just a superficial tribute. Instead, it sounds like an undiscovered treasure from the 1970s, full of analog warmth nevertheless performed with up-to-date efficiency and elegance. For listeners who enjoy instrumental music that falls somewhere between prog, jazz, and funk, with originality and sophisticated creativity, &#8220;Astro Disco&#8221; will be a rewarding audio &#8220;distraction.&#8221; It&#8217;s a music that grooves as much as it explores, bringing listeners an intellectual and &#8220;tangible&#8221; experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=31677354\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=3492304461\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/nearjazzexperience.bandcamp.com\/album\/tritone\">Tritone by Near Jazz Experience<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Astro Disco\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BzD4stDrG7E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo Credit: The Near Jazz Experience &#8211; photo courtesy of NJE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nearjazzexperience.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/nearjazzexperience.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NearJazzExperience\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NearJazzExperience<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nearjazzexperience\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nearjazzexperience<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Astro Disco&#8221; by The Near Jazz Experience is a funky\u00a0musical trip that combines the cinematic&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27600,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[507,125,4594],"class_list":["post-27599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-jazz-fusion","tag-prog","tag-the-near-jazz-experience"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27599"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27603,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27599\/revisions\/27603"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
