Memory Babe richly celebrates the traditions of symphonic rock, folk and jazz fusion. Temptation of running away from responsibility? After all, from every battle, even those lost, one can rise even stronger. Will he find balance between expectations and reality or will he give into Solve inner dilemmas, which leads to an open confrontation with his surroundings, as well as It’s a story of a man, who is in conflict with himself, trying to “Confrontation” - the second longplay from State Urge - is a concept album about difficulties There`s a little prog and kraut and ambient included his time for your enjoyment. Neander is not only a virtuoso improviser who doesn't seem to know what a cliche is, he is a natural contrarian who bucks prevailing trends and still trying to recall the passion of early jazzrock and combine it with contemporary sounds. He has been one of the few who can consistently make you leap off your seat and whoop. Finally, Another Time, Another Place is the sole song of the set, being a seductively melodic bit of Space-Pop with mind-massage vocals from Bridget Wishart.Īli Neander from Frankfurt / Germany is a great guitar player. A steady rocking beat propels the music as Pym cranks out Bluesy licks while a banquet of alien synths swarm about. Pstrings is like a more groove rocking version of Steve’s Blue Lily Commission project and is led by another killer guitar solo, this time from Alex Pym. This is symphonic Space-Prog at its very best. There are lots of fun embellishments as the music progresses, including a totally trippy Arabic flavored and slightly Bluesy stringed instrument, shooting star synths, cavernous drones, barren windswept planet effects and much more. I love the combination of classic Prog keys and majestic space synths. At over 12 minutes The Great Retsina Jam is the longest track of the set. Clouded is a spaced out soundscapes excursion with tasty keys from Jez Creek. Mellifluo is a lovely melodic piece that makes me feel like I’m at an extra-terrestrial Hawaiian luau. I like the combination of drumming and frantic electronic pattern, and the music really hits its stride when Cyndee Lee Rule comes charging in with one of the most intense yet passionately rocking violin solos I’ve ever heard from her. The Golden Rule is next and hits the ground running with a quick paced beat and a deep space Pink Floyd-ish atmospheric aura.
#THE USED VULNERABLE II TRACKLIST PLUS#
T Minus None opens the set with an electro groove pulse that lays the rhythmic foundation for a variety of alien and melodic synths, plus a killer combination of spacey, Bluesy rocking and melodic jazzy guitar, all building up to a high intensity space rocker with delicious guitar from Gary “Moonboot” Masters.
#THE USED VULNERABLE II TRACKLIST FULL#
Read the full review by Jerry Kranitz at I love the mélange of guitar and synth effects and from beginning to end it feels like I’m being gently swept along and at the same time gradually dissolving. The Pillar Of Delhi is another song with a simple yet seductive melody, being a lusciously floating deep space dream sequence. Eventually it all starts to gel and we’re grooving along in heavy Space-Kraut-Jazz rocking heaven. But as this 12 minute piece progresses the guitar and sax start to dominate, with the guitar ripping off wild Psych solos and chunky metallic blasts, and the sax swinging away. The groove goes Motorik on Master Benjamin Warned Young Albert Not To Step On the Uninsulated Air, sounding like a spaced out Neu!, with robotic blazing guitar chords and jazzy saxophone. The fun begins with The Craeft Worker, an electro pulse driven tune with an underlying Kraftwerky, but also space-jazz feel, and a simple yet oh so beautiful guitar, bass and sax melody.
