In the Fishtank 10

"In the Fishtank 10" is an 2003 EP by Motorpsycho and Jaga Jazzist Horns, recorded in 2002 during their European tour and released via the Konkurrent label in 2003. Motorpsycho did a handful gigs together with the horn section of Jaga Jazzist and used to opportunity to record their addition to the Fishtank series.

The style differs heavily from both Motorpsycho and Jaga Jazzist records, consisting of mainly jazz fusion. The first three tracks can be described as rather soothing, with track 2 (a reworking of the song from Angels and Daemons at Play) as highlight. "Theme de Yoyo", a cover of the Art Ensemble of Chicago song, steps (partly) into free jazz and "Tristano" is built around a hypnotic bassline (which is a recurring trademark of Motorpsycho) and progresses over a period of 20 minutes, making it the longest studio track the band has yet recorded.

Although this release clocks in at over 46 minutes, it is still regarded as an EP due to the number of songs, the usage of a re-worked older song and a cover tune.
