1998 release. An octet of international musicians, all living at the time in Utrecht, Holland, led by drummer/composer Michael Baird. Utrecht Deep Artment dream, chirp and swing. There is a continual tightrope act going on, between humor and seriousness, improvisation and composition and, indeed, between abstraction and concrete, deep swinging structures. From the first notes onwards, Sirenians pulls the listener into the deep, into a world that floats between dreaming and waking. This music is original down to its innermost fiber and defies any attempt to categorize it.
