André Drage is a name you probably may or may not recognize. Blending in electronic music, progressive rock, jazz, and classical music, Drage is a Norwegian music that comes from different forms of the genres I’ve mentioned. Inspired by bands and artists such as Frank Zappa, John Coltrane, Gong, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Elephant9. Black Sabbath, Eno, and Russian Circles, Drage has been keeping his musical roots alive for 13 years.
With his own different projects such as Tip the Scales (prog), Draken (hard rock), Aquafaba (ethno-jazz funk), Kennel (Noise Improv), and De la transistor (electronic duo), Drage’s drum work combines a groovy form of his own arrangements. Last year he launched his own label entitled Drage Records which will help range between prog, jazz, world music, and ambient-electronic music.
One of the first albums released on his label is Journeyman. This is prog-rock at its best. A spiritual journey into the unknown. From the Zappa orientations, Gong, and Eno, Drage is very much a musical storyteller, taking listeners to find their true selves, top to bottom. Recorded during the pandemic at Roff Sound Recordings in 2020, Drage wanted to make sure that everyone played a part in this adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
‘Purple Vision’ which has that Zappa orientation, transposes into some crazy, wacky out of this world time changes. You have Haukaas, Stangnes, and Wei Ting Zing, firing on all cylinders when it comes to the Uncle Meat-era, followed by elements of Tangerine Dream’s Ohr years which speak of Atem and Zeit. Drage knows the source material, inside his heart.
Then, we head into the hot locations of ‘Lake Malwai’ which has a Miles Davis approach that speaks of ‘Freddie Freeloader’ from the Kind of Blue album. It’s also a display that Haukaas’s vibraphone and Alftret’s saxophone sets up a dance with this improvisational beat. Therefore, those nods to Gentle Giant’s In A Glass House, come in very handy and then returning to the krautrock genre.
