Heart of the Matter
5 stars I just can't see the point with the bonus material added to this and other releases by The Project. To me, they sound like incomplete, unfinished or failed parts discarded in the final assembly of the real songs. The album itself is, of course, a whole different matter.

And perfection is the name. The combination of electronics with choral eeriness in the opener reaches fantastic levels of depth, contrast and pristine clearness with this upgrade in sound quality. The vocals by Lenny Zakatek and the funky touch by the Tosh & Patton rythm section needs no introduccion really, let's just say that they shine brightly, for example, in "I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You". If you are looking for heavy choral architecture, but in a truly epic scale, go for "Breakdown". Are you into the contemporary-classical stuff, with a penchant for experimentation & atonalism? Just listen to "Total Eclipse", so reminiscent of Gyorgy Ligeti, that you will be searching for a black monolith to adore, in a second.

Yes, the same, but even better.

Heart of the Matter | 5/5 |
