If you've ever tuned into CBC Radio 2 at around midnight until one o'clock, you need to be sleeping more. But, you will have heard a humble DJ, the lovely Laurie Brown or the soft-spoken Pat Carrabre, introducing an array of music which either seamlessly blends into your walls and surrounding atmosphere, or disrupts the stream of Pop-Culture we're so used to. If they haven't already, I wouldn't be surprised to hear Baja transmitting clear from this station.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, tune in. Baja is Daniel Vujanic, German free-jazz composer and innovator in "free electronica". "Wolfhour" is his third full-length album released under the alias Baja.

Considering on his Myspace he states his influence as "chain reactions", it's no wonder "Wolfhour" sounds like the unfolding of a great experimental expanse. Sounds rise up, sink, collapse, collide, engage, mutate, integrate, separate, and illuminate. Instruments are interjected in startling contrasts while voices are chopped and spliced into entangling arrangements. Cacophony and harmony mingle like best friends at a garden party while riding organic electronic beats like horses through fields of lightning rods. Like an apparently endless Terry Riley composition, Baja slowly envelops the listener by sheer curiosity, then slowly blooms into a carefully organized series of musical colors, shapes, and patterns.

Listeners of indie rock, free-jazz, and avant-garde music will dig Baja. Curious readers willing to expand into unfamiliar territory are recommended to take this trip. Heads of classic rock, well, might find this slightly demanding, but further listening will reveal secret melodies and hidden passages that will pour cold water into your soul. Some very beautiful stuff here.
