Tied & Tickled Trio A.R.C.

• Words: Josiah Hughes
• Label: Morr Music
• XLR8R Rating: /10

Tied & Tickled Trio is the side project of Markus and Micha Acher, notably members of The Notwist, 13+God, and Lali Puna. Their other projects found them dabbling in definitive electro-pop, but T&TT is committed to organic jazz. Mainly a DVD for the captivating concert film Observing Systems, the release also includes a CD with the unreleased track "A.R.C." The composition washes in and out of melodious horns and electronic swells-a 20-minute dissection of the group's radiant dynamics. Packed with extras like music videos and European TV interviews, A.R.C. comes highly recommended for those enamored by the work of the Acher brothers."
