Gegründet wurde die 15 Mann starke, eher unkonventionelle Big Band im Jahre 1998. Rebellisch und unkonformistisch sucht sie mit groβem Enthusiasmus und musikalischer Intensität nach dem Unsinn der Musik. Von der genauen, partiturtreuen Wiedergabe bis hin zur berauschenden Improvisation verspricht der vielfältige, manchmal abenteuerliche Stil der Big Band Flat Earth Society einen unvergesslichen Abend, während dem mehr als einmal alle Musiktheorien in Frage gestellt werden. Endecken Sie diese eigenartige Band! (Pressetext)
13 is a round number according to Flat Earth Society and so it’s a jubilee year! We raise the flag and sing our song. On our new album, which we conveniently called "13", we serve you our usual unusual portion of gas, chaos & chazz. The 13th album contains 13 new pieces, some more instrumental than the other. The musical journey defies varying landscapes and weather conditions, the orchestra remains ever fresh and unshaven, the music is our pocketknife and compass, the words are of a profoundly deep depth. The CD industry will completely revitalize. (...) Flat Earth Society is and remains Belgium's most original and most daring 'big band'. Not in the traditional sense of the word, but simply because they are 15. The influences are many in their far from traditional ‘big band’ music. And although the word 'eclectic' still gives them the creeps, it is difficult to describe this exuberant music otherwise. A musical definition for chemical reactions and cooking techniques, is as yet not available. And even after 13 years this latest sprig still bursts with enthusiasm. (Pressetext)
