Allegedly named after a Japanese sex technique, Tied + Tickled Trio are a German ensemble that aim to merge elements of modern electronic music with the more familiar, traditional aspects of contemporary jazz. Formed in 1994 by <a href="spotify:artist:1o4xLcugkCtDDOw7POAMha" data-name="The Notwist">The Notwist</a> members Markus (drums, programming) and Micha Acher (trumpet, upright bass), the original trio eventually ballooned to include many players from the incestuous (and side-project-heavy) town of Weilheim, Germany. <a href="spotify:artist:4oEwUd3ANvQqFSXoQgUWoF" data-name="Johannes Enders">Johannes Enders</a> (tenor sax, piano), <a href="spotify:artist:76mtbnLtjCMJGKphVU0nyj" data-name="Andreas Gerth">Andreas Gerth</a> aka <a href="spotify:artist:0v3ipP0UtnsmehzqTsDESg" data-name="Loopspool">Loopspool</a> who is also part of <a href="spotify:artist:3JRvhQXN2kC31by9hqi5WC" data-name="Driftmachine">Driftmachine</a> (electronics) and Christoph Brander who is also part of <a href="spotify:artist:2RgEQXQ9YF6fC40rfMeAaI" data-name="Saroos">Saroos</a> (drums, sampler) were among those onboard for the band's self-titled 1998 debut, a shadowy affair that successfully married their love of plaintive, Bluenote jazz with a subtle undercurrent of digital texturing. After taking a break in 1999 (largely so that Markus could record with newly formed electronic outfit <a href="spotify:artist:2GkJdEJneopHc10XQV76rN" data-name="Lali Puna">Lali Puna</a> ) the band returned with EA1 EA2. That critically-acclaimed record would build on the blueprint of their original mission statement by incorporating a more ambitious production ethic; it would also yield a successful European tour and a remix album on Morr Music. The band's third proper album, Electric Avenue Tapes, followed in 2001. ~ Mark Pytlik, Rovi
