Jay
Tausing is a progressive rock instrumentalist. I first heard his music on some
of the cool Fruits der Mer cover band compilation records (Great version of
Thick as a Brick!). I believe Jay plays all the instruments on this record. It
starts with a spoken word piece by a female spoken voice. It is followed by 13
cool and spacey instrumental tracks which features a wide range of instruments
including flute, hand drums, guitars, bass, a variety of synthesizers, sitar,
and more. The music is primarily lead by his very nice lead guitar work with
cool l´floating layers of synthesizers. Uranus really shows off his
multi-instrumental talents with nice flute playing, glissando-e-bow guitar,
synths solos, a mix of drums and hand drums. Water Bearer has an Eastern Theme
to it. The Elventh Hour s a short 3 min track but has a more heavy guitar sound
but still spacey. The Amethyst kicks in with another heavy guitar rife with
some cool spacey elements. The Revolutionist really takes the complex bass and
drum and guitar parts to a new level on this record. Some really intense
interplay to start and then it starts to float a bit with some of those voice
style keyboard lines and then a very nice melodic solo. A brilliant number. Mystic
Crystal Revelation returns with a more spacey theme with a cool synth drone,
panned guitar. Actually the whole record sounds excellent in the headphones is
very nicely produced. Super cool track. Anyway, this is a damn cool CD release
if you are into instrumental, psychedelic space rock type music. My only
complaint is such a great effort is put together by one guy to make a record
like this that will never be performed live. Cool stuff.. keep it up Jay….
He
plans another full length release in 2012, "Delirium" on Mellow Records out of Italy
