Three long songs, three renowned exponents of the contemporary european jazz scene. The Fat Is Gone gathers Paal Nilssen-Love and Mats Gustafsson (from The Thing) with one of the big legends of the German jazz scene (Peter Brötzmann), who displays his wildest, most intense musical side to be in par with the two Scandinavian improvisers, resulting in a very dense record, a must listen.

Look at that smug Paal's face...
This is their first live album recorded around 2005, which has some songs from their debut album and Garage but mostly reinterpreted and loosened out. The live renditions of those songs (Awake-Nu being my favorite and one of the most recognizable songs) leave nothing to be desired from those epic sessions, filled with even more energy than the studio counterparts.

In what could be considered their best release (at least in my opinion), Action Jazz delivers the most intense performance of the trio, displaying a tightly orchestrated setup in each one of the songs. This time the band focuses in covers, from Ornette Coleman to Lightning Bolt, breaking apart with a fast, energetic interpretation of jazz and noise rock bands. Only the songs Better Living... and ...Through BBQ were originally composed by the band, and both are eclectic, free improvisations, ranging from tight, minimal outbursts to violent explosions of sax and metals.

Produced by Steve Albini, this is the latest The Thing album (by themselves), and the trio shows they're still good to go. Just as intense as their very first albums, this one is their most stripped down effort, sounding more like a live show recording in a cafe, with an intensity enough to incite dancing instead of anxiety.
