O’s Notes: The Comet is Coming is the name of the band! They are Danalogue (keyboards), Betamax (d, perc) and Shabaka (sax, Shakuhachi). Yes, the sound is what you’d expect during intergalactic travel with an abundance of electronics and worldly sounds. They open with the pulsating club beats of “Code”. That’s the prevailing mode throughout the set. Other highlights are “Pyramids”, “Aftermath”, “Atomic Wave Dance” and “Angel of Darkness”. It’s worth the trip or at least hanging out at the departure gate!
