Free Music Review: Brilliance beyond measure
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is amazing. A good word for it, among others, is "adventurous." The whole band kicks a$$. Drums are tight and amazingly kinetic, keys are alternatively tasteful and crazy... the technique and overall level of musicianship laid down by this band is outstanding and of the highest order. This disc showcases alot of Vernon's "other" sides. Alot more of a jazz feel to this than on MI -- heads are played unison by guitar/keys then break into improv sections then coming back to the head; these are clearly composed pieces for the most part.Vernon uses the guitar synth very tastefully and often combines a synth-generated sound with his straight guitar sound to great effect. Of course he also just plain out shreds his tailfeathers off plenty on several cuts.
Vernon sounds better than ever on this album. He really lays it all out and puts to rest any accusations of sloppiness or whatever else naysayers want to level. This is VR at the top of his game. He proves himself worthy (if we didn't already know) of comparison to all the greats of jazz-fusion or any style you care to name.
Very experimental overall with all the players using different sounds and really feeling each other. This is gonna be awesome to see live!
But the bottom line is -- GO GET THIS CD! I've listened to this over and over again since release day and have only growm to love it more and more. And when I'm not listening to it, it's in my head and makes me yearn for it. I like it even better than Mistaken Identity and that CD is tremendous.
I could go on and on about this disc but words don't do it justice. If you're still reading this and your interest is the least bit piqued, just get it.
