I’ve reviewed a couple other albums from this outfit. I just have to say, though, it’s amazing that just three guys can make this much sound. This runs the gamut from atmospheric and spacey to really hard rocking. It’s challenging music a lot of the time, but also quite compelling. If you like freeform prog with hard edges (like King Crimson), give this a shot. You will find plenty to enjoy about this instrumental ride.

This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2016  Volume 1 at lulu.com/strangesound.

Percussion brings this into being. As it continues some rather strange fusion emerges. It starts to coalesce from there into something a bit more mainstream. Then it bursts out into some great jazz from that point moving forward. There is some space sound at times. It also works into something a bit like Frank Zappa in places. It gets a bit chaotic and noisy here and there, too. There is some screaming hot guitar soloing built into this beast. It is a wild ride for sure. It’s also extensive, clocking in at almost 15 minutes.

 Waves of atmosphere and percussion start things and hold the piece for a time. After a while, though, it seems to end. Then some seriously hard rocking and rather weird music takes it. A chaotic movement ensues after that, landing near the noise end of the spectrum. Changes emerge, but the intensity remains intact. A driving rhythm section leads the song down some powered up lines of sound. The bass really gets crazed as this keeps firing forward. It gets into some rather metallic territory later.
