4 stars MILD is a debut album from an underground act ALTERS, released in 2007 by Lynx Music, specialized in releasing polish neo prog bands. Hopefully Alters is quite original in Lynx Music catalogue. MILD contains a modern, complex mix of jazz-rock and psychedelia.

This album is mostly instrumental, occasional vocals emphasize the weird, hypnotic atmosphere of the music. Album starts with Outro (sic!) with some child's voice played backwards. Child's voice also closes the album (track Intro). Alter's music is quite original, although it can be described as a mix of jazz rock that can remind classic bands like King Crimson, Mahavishnu Orchestra or SBB with modern ambient and psychedelia. The most original element of MILD is this weird, hypnotic atmosphere. Many parts of the album sound like live improvisations, which make this album quite complex. However, the album is very absorbing and there's not a single filler. MILD is a debut album on a very high quality level.

Great album, from the end to beginning. 4 stars.
