After the release of Paradigm’s debut album Paradigm (2006), which sold extremely well locally and received regional radio airplay, the band has organically cemented their craft through diligent rehearsal, touring, and frequent local performances. Not content to remain artistically idle, the group has continues to probe and absorb musical influences and new sonic textures, all while retaining the sense of freedom and spirit of improvisation that one would expect from a group of highly skilled jazz musicians. The result, captured in Melodies For Uncertain Robots, is the emergence of a fine-tuned, strikingly original group voice. From the dreamlike landscape and soaring ecstasy of “Firefly,” the electronica-tinged atmosphere of “Laurette,” the freewheeling prog-jazz of “Particles,” and the driving arena rock of “Melancholy Collide,” to the sampled beats and propulsive surge of “Littlejohn Island,” Melodies shows Paradigm taking both instrumental music and the song form to exciting new levels of creativity.
