Negative Positive
Title: Fusion yes.... !
Review: In regards to the review by the guy who says Colosseum II wasn't a fusion band. Well they were but more like a half fusion half heavy progressive rock band, but the fusion or jazz spectrum comes out mostly in Hiseman's blazing drumming and the keyboard meanderings. So this in fact makes the music a bit more fusionesque, if you will. Gary Moore could be a funky guitar player but he could also lay down the more hard rock oriented sound . Due more to the aggressive nature of his playing. The easiest thing to do is pigeonhole Colosseum II as "jazz-rock" maybe the most ambitious and aggressive form of jazz rock ever to surface ("Winds" from Strange New Flesh). Not quite jazz but something jazzy and extreme. Fusion sounds better. This album was their last statement and I guess you could say,It is a winner.
Is the review positive or negative?
