18th February, 2022: Neptunian Maximalism - Eons (avant-garde jazz/zeuhl/drone metal, 2020)

A fascinating genre salad, and one that initially struck me as total gimmickry but has opened up with subsequent revisiting. It's primarily a jazz fusion record - mostly instrumental, and almost all utterly chaotic. But beneath that are incredibly strong lines of drone metal a la Sunn O))) and manic avant-prog a la Magma. And somehow, this strange mix doesn't sound like a total mess. The drone sections are a welcome break from the furious dexterity of the prog and jazz parts, and the occasional vocals are a welcome break from the incessant instrumental noodling too. I'm still not sure how I feel about it as a whole, but it's certainly very creative, which is something that should be celebrated.

6.4 (3rd listen)
