Free Music Review: Roy Buchanan: the final frontier
Hit: 5 Stars

This is Roy Buchanan at his most experimental and dangerous. After this album, he recorded three (quite good) straight blues albums. This one must've worn him thin. The opening track, MILES FROM EARTH (Roy doesn't feature here) sets the mood: a vast soundscape is formed as the mesmeric piano plays and the space-like synthesizers fade in and out. Anything is possible now. The next song, from the opening whip, will flatten you - TURN TO STONE. Roy hasn't rocked this hard since HEY JOE. The Joe Walsh cover then drops into a jazzy cruise before picking up where it left off with 2 mins to go. The next track, FLY NIGHT BIRD, will give you 2 minutes to breathe before the bird takes flight. Then we are given a moody blues song that betters with every listen. Though not my personal favourite, there are some amazing periods in this when Buchanan makes his guitar imitate the hovering, soaring and screeching of seagulls - again, with a backdrop that seems set in space.The next tracks, 1841 SHUFFLE and SUPERNOVA are fairly standard blues riffs that struggle to materialise because Roy's Telecaster is having a well-earned rest. DOWN BY THE RIVER however is brilliant stuff. (If you want the best RIVER experience, listen to the original by Neil Young, then this, then the live version on the SWEET DREAMS compilation)

Then the title song. Through the slow drums and bass buildup, the synthetic cries and the atmosperic keyboards, we board the ship into space. Our captain Roy Buchanan then signals liftoff with a flick of the wrist and we soar. In the unknown we discover Roy's world - his final frontier. And with 3 mins remaining, keyboards drop the platform and ring out the message that Roy Buchanan believes and we come to believe through him - that we aren't alone. When we drift through this new world with Roy's indefatigable fretwork leading the way... THE END.
