Live Extracts is an album by Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset & The Sonic Codex Orchestra.
[1][2] Aarset's fifth album as a leader embraces the improvisational power and skill of the expanded Sonic Codex Orchestra.
All About Jazz critique John Kelman, in his review of Aarset's album Live Extracts states: Here the band offer live versions of tunes that differ markedly from recordings on previous studio albums, yet maintain the essential characteristics that are the hallmark of Aarset's music: controlled floating threads that bind together the strong melodies and abstract soundscapes, shaded, ominous atmospheres suffused with deep, subtle colours.
[1][3] The BBC Music Magazine review awarded the album 5 stars for performance and 4 stars for sound,[3] and The Guardian review awarded the album 3 stars.
