Title: A Masterpiece
Product review: Even after a decade long hiatus, this band is still miles ahead of its so-called, competition. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting and chatting with Vernon Reid last summer after a Roots concert (he was their guest guitarist) and I had the chance to tell him how brilliant I thought "Collideoscope" was and that the masses seriously slept on this innovative suite of songs and sounds.Every one of the 15 tracks here works and deepens with repeated listens, the closing remake of The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows" would have been embarrassing in a lesser bands hands, but it works to stunning effect as part of an ambient instrumental that concludes the project. All of the band members are in terrific form throughout and contrary to popular consensus, the production is not muddy or impenetrable, but very bass heavy and expansive. Perhaps someday the rest of the music world will catch up to Living Colour, but for now these guys still lead the pack.
