Negative Positive
Title: Superfusion
Review: The samples presented here do not do this album justice, there much more fusion going on than suggested by the clips, which show the rockier side of the band, sort of a Satriani-like sound. I was a bit sceptical, but once I got into the CD, I quickly realized that Satrianisms are only the rock side of the "fusion" formula - lots of effects. There is the jazzy side of the formula, however, with lots of JUICY, melodic soloing, modal harmonies, changing atmospheres and meters, heavy B3 organ and moog-type soloing. There are some humorous spoken clips thrown in, like: "ah, f**k it man, let's go bowling" or "oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?". The chops of these guys are amazing - they can easily compare with other contemporary fusion units like Tribal Tech and Chick Corea Elektrik Band.
