A large group with somewhat fluid membership, Glasgow's Scatter create music that touches many bases. There's a lot of brass instrumentation (over some fairly swinging rhythms), but you wouldn't call them jazz; there is a proliferation of voices and acoustic instruments, though you wouldn't call them folk; there are flourishes of stranger sounds -- electronics, vocal babbling, and odd percussion -- but don't call them experimental. At its core, Scatter is a glowing ball of musical energy
