Free Music Notes for Emergent
Free Music Review: Progressive Instrumental Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
Gordian Knot is a sort of prog supergroup, the brainchild of bassist Sean Malone, but including such progressive luminaries as Bill Bruford, Jim Matheos and fomer members of Cynic and Aghora. Epic, surreal, textural, innovative, and completely uncommercial in it's approach-any fan of exploratory boundary-pushing music should own this album.
Emergent is an instrumental album full of music that comes across as new-age one minute, jazz fusion the next, followed by heavy post-metal crescendos and meditative guitar flourishes. Very unusual, avant-garde and almost resembling a cinematic landscape at times, this is not a "shred" or show-off instrumental album, but a cohesive statement where all of it's parts are incorporated into a seamless sonic whole. Sure, there are some amazing guitar (and bass) solos, but they are folded almost casusally into the music. Fantastic and inspirational music. Highly recommended!
Emergent Poster
In 1999, former Cynic bassist Sean Malone startled the metal and progressive rock world with the self-titled debut release from his Gordian Knot project. Featuring a lineup of renowned musicians it blurred the distinction between rock and metal - Gordian Knot is a defining statement for the genre. Featuring Malone joined by members of King Crimson, Dream Theater and Watchtower. Three years in the making, Gordian Knot's follow-up release, Emergent, pushes the envelope even further. Sean Malone is once again surrounded by a stellar cast including Jason Gobel, Bill Bruford, Steve Hackett, Jim Matheos and more. Sensory/Laser's Edge. 2003.Jazz Music CDs
