Free Music Notes for In the Future
Free Music Review: WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I heard this yesterday at the local record store and immediately grabbed it. This is one of those rare gems you infrequently get turned on to. Just one more reason to lament the demise of CD stores in favor of online downloading, eh? For everyone over 50, picture this: What if Grace Slick had been the lead singer of 70s era King Crimson? Great stuff!! A truly unique mixture of influences. Like the retro synth, B3 and acoustic sounds!!
In the Future Poster
With In the Future, the Vancouver, BC-based retro-rock act Black Mountain has really worked through its influences, delivering a classic slab of new stoner/headphone rock. The band's eponymous debut treaded through the catalog of many a classic rock and folk artist's greatest hits album, picking the best bits from Deep Purple and Black Sabbath here, Mountain and Thin Lizzy there, as if these kids' folks had good taste in Big Rock, but not much else. In the Future is far less afflicted with such big-mustache irony. It's tempting, for example, to call the sprawling, hypnotic "Bright Lights" an "epic jam," simply because it's almost 17 minutes long. But the song has great male and female vocals, bring to mind John Doe and Exene Cervenka knackered on laudanum, and is hugely massive in parts, quiet and moody in others. Besides which, it really is a great epic song, not quite up to par with the song suite from Rush's 2112, but surpassing anything similar by Uriah Heep. The rest of the record is eclectic without ever straying far from heavy, psyched-out prog-metal with touches of contrasting folk. Basically, this is the ideal soundtrack to a serious game of Dungeons & Dragons. --Mike McGonigalAlternative Rock Music CDs
