I used to have a vinyl album by a band
called 'The Movies' that I played until it was worn out & useless.
The movies album was never released on CD and I have missed playing
it because the music it contained was a rather unique blend of rock
& funk that I like to think of as 'intellectual music'. Disturbance
in the Equilibrium has these features and more.....I am pleased to
tell you that this without a doubt is the best album that I have
heard in a very long time.
Small Mercies is a
perfect fusion of these components with an unusual harmonics thing
going on in the background. Brilliant.
Kiss of Life
- Funky....a bit, Rockish...Maybe, Dynamic range...lots,
excellent....most definitely.
Pilgrim I
don't mean to go on but....Superb.
Sideways, I
love to play bass guitar, this is the bass line I wanted to write.
Scrumptious.
Beautiful Monster
is more bass cleverness with layered synth & guitar that do not crowd the
sound. Very nice.
Disturbance in the
Equilibrium. Until now my comments have been bordering on
sycophantic. Here things change and I go one stage beyond.
This track is Awesome, who thought of
adding the strings, give that man a medal.
Stone me,
Overcome, Solid Blood and Thaumaturgy
are all equally satisfying. There is
not one bad track on this album.
Now take a look at the package and learn. When I
first saw the image on the front of the album I was sure that I
wanted to listen to the music. There is no reference to where the
image is from but it (for me) is perfect CD cover art. The sort of
image that stands out from most of the dull rubbish that normally
sits on the front of an album.
This CD gets a HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED from Bristol Rocks and jumps right into the
number one spot in our album chart. This one will take some
beating......
