Listening to one of the long-form, single-track albums by Australian jazz trio the Necks might be the closest one can come to experiencing time travel. Pianist Chris Abrahams, drummer Tony Buck, and bassist Lloyd Swanton usually start out simply — perhaps with a single repeated chord from Abrahams, a drizzle of hi-hat, or a cough of a bass figure. Then, like an incoming tide, the piece builds and builds, until, 20 minutes later, you've been imperceptibly carried far out to sea; that first hook is now but a faint sliver — a distant buoy amid the shimmering surround of sound.
