The collaboration between Danish musicians Martin Rude and Jakob Skøtt has proven to be most fruitful. The mixture of Rude’s open guitar tunings and double bass with Skøtt’s fluid drumming and ethereal synths and electronics gave their debut LP The Discipline of Assent an epic, galactic jazz western feel. A soundtrack to some retro-futuristic Leone film that only exists in the strangest of fever dreams. It truly was one of the more exciting musical trips I’d taken this year.

Fortunately for us the collaboration didn’t stop at one full-length. The duo recorded enough material for two LPs, the second of which is here now. The Dichotomy Of Control is an exquisite shot of mysterious acoustic jangle and spaced-out synth sonics. With this new set of forward-thinking tracks there’s a much more free-flowing jazz feel. It’s as if Gateway locked into Arabic folk music and then injected some Sun Ra magic in for good measure. The resulting LP is a groovefest for deep space travel and desert vision quests.
