Alan J. Bound
Deep Space: The Alan J. Bound Retrospective 2005 to 2014
Review by Gary Hill
This CD features guitar heavy instrumental music. It’s often near to space rock, but perhaps closer to either jam band sounds or guitar hero type stuff. Still, it’s close enough to land it under “progressive rock” here. There is some solid stuff here. Still, it has a tendency towards both noodly territory and being monolithic in sound. All that said, it is overall quite effective. Plus, I love how the CD itself looks like a vinyl record.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2015 Volume 6 at lulu.com/strangesound.
