The Sixth Story is the exhilarating, full-throttle follow-up to 2009's critically-acclaimed Demi Masa, from the psychedelic gamelan-jazz-fusion phenoms, simakDialog. Raising the benchmark in a genre known for it's brilliant artists is no easy feat, but this album is up to the task: each composition is an exquisite master-class rendering of equal parts elegance and intrigue. This is modern progressive jazz at it's most original, most far-reaching and most achieving. Referencing the discernible influence of a host of the genre's most innovative voices - from the great Miles Davis, to Return to Forever, to the Zawinul Syndicate, John Abercrombie Quartet, Tribal Tech, early Return to Forever, and even the late, great Charles Mingus - the band continues to push the musical envelope: leaping boldly into places progressive music has never ventured, and few would be brave - or skilled-enough to even consider attempting. The guiding work of keyboardist Riza Arshad has never been bolder or more self-assured, with the maestro laying down line after line of flowing, sensitive, unpredictable-yet-wonderfully-articulate passages Guitar phenom Tohpati is equal to the task, compelled to produce some of his most emotional and ambitious fretwork to date. Framing a profound comprehension and command of the cuts' many intricate complexities, shifts and nuances, his world-class guitar stylings have never been sweeter; his tones, textures and phrases are consistently perfect for the occasion. Propelling the steady undercurrent, bassist Adhithya Pratama and their three seasoned percussionists - Endang Ramdan, Erlan Suwardana, Cucu Kurnia) - provide a solid foundation beneath the dense, weaving foreground musings of Arshad and Tohpati. Despite their propensity for waltzing wildly into the unknown, the band is always on sure footing through even the most challenging sonic terrain. This is as good as modern progressive jazz gets - an astounding work of the absolute highest order... and one not be missed.
