„ PMGJazz proudly presents the ninth album by Macedonian jazz group Sethstat – the not so subtly titled “IX9”.

Described, by our very own Mirko Popov as “their point of no return” this is undoubtedly their finest work to date. It is also, in many ways their most direct record since 2004’s “Rolling Garage” – a milestone in Macedonian punk-jazz.

Truly once in a lifetime collection of compositions, that keeps giving more and more with each spin of the [insert preferred medium]. “

“[…] The same thing that makes you come back to it over again, in order to “understand” it, is the same thing that motivates you to better yourself, and to grow both spiritually and as a character. And we, as a society that is part of the collective human culture[…] have a moral and civilizational obligation and responsibility not only to affirm, but also to support and promote such artistic values. Even to the point of sacrality, why not.” – Aleksandar Elenin, taratur.com
