Led by keyboardist Dave Morecroft, London-based quintet WorldService Project are engaged in an ambitious quest to connect with like-minded fellow travellers in Scandinavia and mainland Europe – a plan that culminated in the first Match&Fuse festival in Dalston this June, with further installments planned to take place in Oslo, Rome and elsewhere in the coming years. The split disc with French band Alfie Ryner sets out the aesthetic pretty clearly. While the French roll out a proggy cosmo-Arabian rumble not dissimilar to vintage Gong, WSP engage in the kind of frenetic stop-start jams that Led Bib have cleaned up with in recent years. Morecroft's nicely chunky keys and Ralph Clarkson's braying trombone give it a pleasing heft – and the addition of Irish quartet RedivideR on ‘We Few/Sweet Time’ makes for an economical big band sound. Live in London pulls a similar trick, enlisting Norway's Synkoke for an extended jam on ‘Small Town Girl/Ho Seier Kva Ho Tykkjer’. Across both discs, WSP revel in tricksy time signatures, bursts of light funk and loungey swing, and bouts of squally freedom, all mashed up together in a way that suggests a similar approach to Zappa's use of disparate compositional blocks. Eurovision never sounded like this.
