Voco / Walcott Sessions
Label: Monkey King Records
Genre: General
Prog rock meets jazz
Local group goes for the jugular in a series of provocative arrangements that engage you while pounding you on the head. I loved it. They played at Day of Noise. Turn it up ALL the way! Warning: each track segues into the next one.
If You Like: Fred Frith, King Crimson (Larks Tongues era), Tony Iommi, Hawkwind
FCCS: possible on , no vocals on other tracks
Favorite Tracks: (1)You Still don't Know How To Talk To People (2) Egg Cartons (4) Hanging Like Bruce Lee (7) Squandering Your Eggs (9) Crenulated Scarp in Hesperia Planum (10) Most Of Us Are Winners
Track Review: spacey synth opens> blasts of guitar noise leads to rocking uptempo jam which evolves to slow space jam & then a full frontal attack and fade 2/ space jam> fast tempo guitar frenzy 3/ guitar riff> midtempo funky jam> guitar shred> space jam 4/ space jam> guitar shred> sonic guitar jam> quick stop 5/ sow moving space jam> quick stop 6/ full frontal guitar attack> melody shift: heavy chords> guitar solo> space jam 7/ space jam shifts to sonic guitar jam> quick stop 8/ guitar onslaught that keeps building in intensity like a bolero on amphetamines then drops in tempo and builds to a crescendo 9/ pleasant guitar solo starts> slow tempo space jam builds in intensity and fades 10/ power chord nirvana> unrelenting midtempo pummeling> fabulous guitar solo> crescendo end + two power chords
