Mos Generator is a very productive band from Washington state lead by Tony Reed. This is a five song LP of jams for the film The Firmament. The band is expanded a bit with the addition of Andy Sorter on Fender Rhodes on a few tracks and Bo Micconaghie on 2nd guitar. Fall
of Megiddo is a very Pink Floyd inspired blues jam with some really nice guitar
work (not up to the level of godly David Gilmour though!). Track 2, Zero to
Infinity is more inspired by King Crimson (minus the mellotron, which will come
later!) with both heavy and dreamy parts. Wicked Willow is the first track with
vocals and also features acoustic guitar. At 3mins the track increases
intensity with the electric guitars smashing in and the vocal becomes more
powerful. Dead Souls (Joy Division cover) is really different with the bass
line really driving the track. A tough band to do good justice of when
covering. Warrior Soul were successful
though with Interzone, which I like better than the original. Outlander (see
video below) closes the mini-LP. Another
very cool record…
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..
