SICK!SICK!SICK!Well,sick in a good sense ,if we can have the pretention to consider
something sick being good?!?!?!After this twisted introduction I want to say that this album is
a "third degree encounter" of 3 monsters in today's music!Each of them has something to
prove,to demonstrate and this meeting was the perfect oportunity!After a first promissing
collision,this second opus is pushing the barriers even further!We have the feeling that on the
first album ,they didn;t finish something!And it's true,they really finish what they've started on
this SITUATION DANGEROUS,and,believe me thet are VERY DANGEROUS!Bozzio is the
instigator of this magical trio formula and it's seconded by the ultra virtuoso and experimental
bass player Mr TONY LEVIN.Here they have recruted the real discovery in this project,Mr
STEVE STEVENS from Billy Idol and VINCE NEIL BAND!!!The real revelation is STEVENS, is
offering a true tour de force on this album ,from rhythms of flamenco,world music,Eastern
influences and even folkloric!Bozzio has the abbility to play impossible measures and Levin
made in KING CRIMSON everything that can possibly be made with this instrument.,and here
he is pushing the limits even furtherThe compositions give the feling to be a little chaotic,but
that's the magic of improvisation.I am sure that this album has been made in a few days off by
some musicians tired of conventional music,willing to have the freedom to express some
unconventional music!This is an album for KING CRIMSON and ZAPPA fans,for open minded
people ,for which music is not only something that is easy recognisable or easy to be
remebered,but for those who have the spirit of adventure in music!Not for flat brains and fine
ears,that's for sure!
4.5 STARS for the courage of making music for pleasure and passion for the instrument!
