Imagine Jan Hammer ran with a down tempo electro label of five years ago, and he and one of today's disco revivalists decided to make music together as OBLIO.

That's not what happened but it's what it sounds like. I haven't been able to get any links for OBLIO. It's like record shopping before the internet. The EP is called "The Crux of the Matter" so perhaps because that's exactly the point, getting back to what's important: the music.

OBLIO - The Crux of the Matter
OBLIO - A Radical Change in Orientation

The Crux of the Matter EP is out now as 12" on Codek
