The
members of the Polytoximaic Philharmonie are back with another Chickencage
Experience CD. I really enjoyed the last CD/DVD release. This one is a bit more
focused with shorter tracks and more singing and less instrumental parts. Mayday
Sister Mayday starts things off in a mid pace with some nice saxophone and
great singing by HM Fishli. It starts to rock out with some short bursts of
lead guitar and lots of complex movements and the end reminds me of Blood
Ceremony with a slightly doomy, heavy guitar riff. Top Secret is a short 2½min
song with a synth line that gives it this dreamy feeling. Werküken tells a
story up until about 3½ mins when it changes direction but then leads to a fade
rather than a jam or something. Shaken not Stirred sounds exactly like it would
be perfect in a James Bond film. Done to perfection.. Thousand Miles in nearly
8mins of melodic floating progressive style rock, with nice layers of synths,
sax and occasional guitar solos but the song is again very focusing the
singing. Still flaky but Free features a bit more instrumental sections and
nice interaction between the keyboards, sax and guitar. Spacecop Goodbad is a
short funny track. Hope Song has some nice lyrics and beautiful guitar lines.
An Ocean full of Gold is a really short one that leads into the CD closer,
Whitewash, which is one if not my favourite track on the record. I love the
guitar playing on this instrumental. A pretty cool record once again and it
would be perfect for a James Bond movie….
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
