Negative Positive
Title: classic
Review: This is a little different than Kraan's other albums. The second album, it is darker, blusier, and the songs more concise."Mind Quake," for example, is a minor mid-tempo number. It has Kraan's usuall popping bass, but is more ommonus than anything else they put on record. It fetures an interesting "found music" section in the middle. "Backs" also has the same dreary tone.This is not to say the record is not a tour de forse. The playing is excelent, and all the selections are grade A, even the funk-blues track the band preforms, mid-album. With its wha-wha and deep grind, this could be part of a jam from Miles Davis' LivEvil.The tone is simply different than the athletic, upbeat fusion Kraan fans are used to. But this is some of their best work and is essential.
