'Live At Pulchri' is Pythagoras' first offering since much-missed drummer Bob de Jong passed away in 2011, shortly after the release of the band's magnus opus 'The Correlated ABC'. In this live registration of an impromptu concert performed at an exhibition by Dutch painter and sculptor Ilja Walraven, Pythagoras' only surviving founding member RenοΏ½ de Haan teams up with ABC guest musicians percussionist Joshua Samson and bass veteran Peter "Peer" Wassenaar plus beats magician Rob Bothof playing his custom-built electronics. The result is unique and entrancing, the typical Pythagoras sound labelled as 'progressive electronic', created by De Haan's sentimental Mellotron and dreamy ambient passages, blending amazingly well with the compelling rhythms and patterns provided by Bothof, Wassenaar and Samson. Makes you think of cats? Capricious, mischievous and fascinating, the concert (79:00 minutes!) forms an imaginative counterpart to the art of Ilja Walraven, as exemplified by the charming cat portraits adorning the CD's excellent artwork.
