Dark Territory (album)
''Dark Territory'' is a studio album by trumpeter Dave Douglas which was released in June 2016 on Douglas' Greenleaf Music label. The album is named after Fred Kaplan's book ''Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War '' released in 2016. Reception The Allmusic review awarded the album 4 stars out of 5, stating "As with 2014's '' High Risk'', ''Dark Territory'' features live, in-studio performances Douglas has dubbed "electro-acoustic" jams. These primarily consist of computer- and synth-based soundscapes created by Shigeto that Douglas and his ensemble play along to. Shigeto then manipulates and interacts with the band and his soundscapes in real time, sculpting the proceedings. The result is a sound that falls somewhere in between experimental electronica and avant-garde jazz improvisation ...

''High Risk'' is an album by trumpeter Dave Douglas that was released in June 2015 on Douglas' Greenleaf Music label. accessed July 27, 2015 Reception The review awarded the album 4 stars out of 5, stating "While the hallucinatory nature of ''High Risk'' certainly brings to mind trumpeter ' '70s and '80s electric period, Douglas smartly bucks direct comparisons by largely eschewing heavy effects on his own horn.
