There is a point where all dance music and trance music and minimalism converges, and it is in the middle of this Chicago trio. The Bajas use keyboards and mallet instruments and woodwinds and various software intervention to set up fractal patterns and beautiful math, ways of creating mind-freeing repetition. They are some cosmic buddies, able to punch holes in a drone and smooth out an ostinato until it coos. Hypnosis now!
