Babel's album A Is For Atom is a unique and refreshing take on modern jazz. The album features intricate arrangements, complex rhythms, and virtuosic performances from all members of the band. The songs are a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are given the Babel treatment and sound fresh and exciting.
The album opens with the title track, "A Is For Atom," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving rhythm and intricate melodies. Other standout tracks include "The Devil's Dance," which features a haunting melody and a hypnotic groove, and "The Great Flood," a powerful and emotional ballad.
Throughout the album, the musicianship of the band is on full display. Each member of the band is a master of their instrument and they work together seamlessly to create a cohesive and compelling sound. The production is also top-notch, with each instrument and voice given the space and clarity it needs to shine.
