About
Khmer (released 1997 in Germany by ECM Records) is an album by the Norwegian trumpeter Nils Petter Molvær. The album mixes elements of electronica and jazz. The album is based on sampled and artificially generated sounds, backed by beats from house and drum'n'bass. However, the often very slow rhythms are played on acoustic drums. Christian Genzel of Allmusic review awarded the album 4.5 stars.He wrote, "Khmer is surely the most unusual album ever released by ECM" due to the CD's then-unprecedented mix of jazz and electronica. .
