Reviewed: 2018-03-03 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Modern fusion. On the quieter, dreamier arrangements, there's a sense of listening to a band playing in the foreground of an expansive and especially luminescent display of the Northern Lights; on the brasher tracks, the deep groove evoke images of a warehouse, converted to a dance club in a dark area of town, a place packed with sweating bodies moving in unison to the wall-shaking bass/drum pulse, what you might call modernistic, atmospheric, guitar-drenched chamber funk. Guests add an occasional additional guitar or sax. All originals except #4 & 9 If You Like: Weather Report, Al Di Meola (electric), Wayne Shorter Track Review (favorites denoted by *): *1/ Macrophages (4:48) - electric guitar starts> slow jam swings to midtempo> slow sax solo swings wild> midtempo jam> quick fade 2/ Living Fossil (6:46) - slow & quiet start> slow jam> guitar solo> sax solo> slow jam> crescendo & fade *3/ Never Die! (7:44) – guitar starts> slow jam> sax solo swings out> crescendo> shifts to slow jam> wild guitar solo> 2nd guitar solo> crescendo> shift to midtempo jam> fade 4/ Lorraine (6:52 – bass starts> slow jam> sax solo> drum solo> slow jam> fade *5/ Satellite (8:06) – heavy drums start> heavy midtempo jam> sax solo> heavy abrasive jam> bass/drum duet> jam> quick stop *6/ Baby Steps (5:43) – sax starts> slow jam> saxes duet swings to midtempo> crescendo end 7/ Listen to The Quiet Voice (5:58) – sax starts> slow jam> guitar solo> sax solo> fade *8/ Meta Max (10:59) – sax starts> bass/guitar duet> guitar solo swings wild> sax solo goes mellow> slow jam> fade 9/ Lessforgettable 94:47) – sax starts> slow jam> fade | ||
