13:09 Q-Continuum grooved on the beach

Q-Continuum, who's been formed from the members of Quintessence from Helsinki, plays improvisation-based groove-funk. The beach dwellers, who along the day had gotten used to a lot more easier listening experiences didn't seem too enthusiastic. Compared to the turnout for the other bands, a very small group was floppingly dancing in front of the stage. The slow tempo and the artsy music of the band didn't quite fit the beach milieu. This band will definitely fit like a glove in the elitistic clubs of the bigger cities, but not here. Even I do not really understand, why this kind of music is considered so magnificent. Every now and then I even forgot that I was listening to music as it changed into muzak, elevator music. Perhaps we're just too much of country pumpkins around here.
