Live Extracts  Live Extracts is an album by Norwegian guitarist Eivind Aarset & The Sonic Codex Orchestra. 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. The "BBC Music Magazine" review awarded the album 5 stars for performance and 4 stars for sound, and "The Guardian" review awarded the album 3 stars.
