Drummer, Jakob is back with his 4th solo record on the ELP label. This follows
the direction of his last record where there is a lot of live drumming laid
down and then Jakob plays synths over the top. The opening track has a really
great drum sound and cool vibe in this nearly 13min opening track. Very
strange, effected and spaced out synths stuff at the end. Face Peradam has a
really great synth link hook. Something about this one that I really liked. A
mix of synth stuff goes on, with drony stuff, floating ambient stuff and other
layers. What great drumming as well. Wow.. I was really impressed with the side
A. The Variable starts off side B again with some pretty intense drumming. The
synths are a bit more crazy and atonal at times but there is always that one
very melodic one a bit more hidden in this track. Psychedelic stuff. Iron
nebula has this sort of off balance synth that really does freaky stuff to your
head when combined with the intense drumming. About 2/3 way in it changes to
something more normal. The title track is ends this record. This one is wild to
start but then an almost mellotron like synth relaxes you as the drums become
more and more calm and you float away with the music. Cool stuff..
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..
