Untitled

Aelita is an album by the German jazz-electronica band Tied & Tickled Trio, released in 2007.

Critical reception

Pitchfork's Brian Howe wrote that the album "is perfect for art gallery openings, dinner parties, and scoring silent sci-fi films. But beyond its utility as a backdrop, it's an awfully cold, blank, and directionless void to trawl alone."[2] A Tiny Mix Tapes review of Aelita also noted that the album "fluctuates too much from moment to moment" and that it generally "falls a little flat."[3] Joe Tacopino of PopMatters described it as a "concept album without any lyrics", and that "within [the jazz] genre, which has not fully embraced the era of Pro Tools, The Tied and Tickled Trio has constructed a compelling argument to meld these two worlds together."[4] SLUG Magazine's Andrew Glassett praised the album's overall production and percussion sounds.[5] Aelita "completed a movement that led away from their earlier jazz-based sound and towards a more self-consciously futurist form of open-ended electronic improvisation," according to The Wire.[6]
