Review by José Amaral

The album 28416 by Pat Thomas and Paul Abbott is a unique blend of experimental jazz and electronic music that takes the listener on a sonic journey through a variety of moods and textures. The album features a range of instruments, including keyboards, drums, and saxophone, as well as a variety of electronic sounds and effects.

The opening track, "I Have a Voice," sets the tone for the album with its hypnotic rhythms and abstract melodies. From there, the album explores a range of soundscapes, from the frenetic energy of "Who's Afraid of the Dark?" to the dreamy ambience of "In the Forest."

Throughout the album, Thomas and Abbott demonstrate a remarkable chemistry, seamlessly blending their respective styles and creating a sound that is both cohesive and dynamic. The interplay between Thomas's saxophone and Abbott's electronic manipulations is particularly impressive, creating a sense of tension and release that keeps the listener engaged throughout.
