Description/Reviews: 

The music here spans from bustling jazz rhythm section work-outs with abstract sounds to laid-back electric psychedelic jams. Generally, the difference is whether Rude is playing double bass or guitar so you can actually see the join. This is not a problem however as the album does have coherence with good quality performances

Description/Reviews: 

The opener, ‘The Dura Plane’, gets the album of to a strong start with its slightly off-kilter repeato-rhythms. As you would expect the drums are high in the mix and getting a proper pounding before Skøtt leads us off into a dreamlike mid-section which feels detached and disorientated before hitting the beat again to take it home.

Line-up: 
Jakob Skøtt (Causa Sui) - Drums, Synthesizer

Description/Reviews: 

...All The Colours Of The Dust is the third instalment of his “drums verses synthesizers” sonic expeditions.An unusual brand of one-man improv jam, Skøtt lays down his drums tracks first and then goes back and pastes layers of crazy synth noises over the top. The result? Pretty distinctive, I’d say; part jazz fusion, part space rock, part ambient, part drone, part krautrock and all Skøtt.
