3 stars Another modern and very interesting jazz-oriented prog group,SPACED OUT's formation was an idea of super-talented bassist Antoine Fafard.He recruited Martin Maheux on drums, Mathieu Bouchard on guitar and Eric St-Jean on the keyboards and after this line-up the band recorded and released an eponymous work in 2000.Strongly inpired by a variety of musical styles and sounds,SPACED OUT presented an instrumental effort with,which sometimes sounds like a lesson of virtuosity,other ones the groovy rhythms are on the front.The music is led by the hyper-complex bass lines of Fafard and the extensive soloing of Bouchard,while keyboardist Eric St-Jean fills the compositions with nice electronic parts and background keyboards.In some spots their music reminds me a lot of DEREK SHERINIAN's solo works with their rich and complicated arrangements,some KING CRIMSON complex parts also pop up,then its time for some accesible jazz/fusion approach close to theIr compatriots UZEB.A great starting step for this instrumental quartet,who did it very well on their debut and could do it much better in the future.Recommended!
