12twelve - L'universe

The first album on Mint's iPod is "L'universe" by 12twelve. The Spanish language Wikipedia entry on the group (translated) by Google, says they were founded in Barcelona in 1998 by Jaume L. Pantaleon, Javier Garcia, Jose Rosello, and Jens Neumaier.

I know next to nothing about music, and while this sounds like jazz to me, Wikipedia says it also qualifies as "Post-rock", whatever that means. "L'universe" was released in 2006, and consists largely of uptempo jazz, featuring melodic saxophone solos, and occasional bursts of atonality. 

Overall, the music is fairly pleasant, though the more abstract passages are a little difficult for me. I wonder: is Mint a jazz fan dipping into "Post-rock", or vice-versa. He's younger than I would expect for a typical jazz listener, but it seems dangerous to rely on such unfounded stereotypes. It could be he's a musician himself, a high-school band type who discovered an anachronistic love for the music of another generation, excited about a contemporary band carrying on those old traditions. Suppositions such as this can only be proven by further listening.
