Golden Xplosion (released April 15, 2011 in UK by the label Edition Records – EDN1027) is the second album of the Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset.
The review by John Fordham of the British newspaper The Guardian awarded the album 5 stars, and the reviewer Ivan Hewett of the British newspaper The Telegraph awarded the album 5 stars
This is a remarkable album by the now 25 years old Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset. Together with the three companion musicians centered by Django Bates, the brilliant compositions and the excess energy of the band gives the album an elevated expression.[1] [2] [3] [4]
The Guardian critique John Fordham, in his review of Neset's album Golden Xplosion states:
| ... Marius Neset (...) has a vision that makes all 11 originals on this sensational album feel indispensable, and indispensably connected to each other. Bonuses include an inspired Bates on piano and synths, and the formidable Phronesis rhythm section of bassist Jasper Høiby and drummer Anton Eger... |
The Telegraph critique Ivan Hewett, in his review of Neset's album Golden Xplosion states:
| ... Twenty-five-year-old saxophonist Marius Neset is a marvel. He makes his instrument dance like a gazelle and soar like an eagle, and he’s an ingenious composer too. On the title track he hurls together three different time-signatures, amusingly shouted out just in case we get lost. But this isn’t mere cleverness, it’s instinctive musicality, buoyed up by three other fine players....[5] |
