ON BLUE

"Mahogany Frog On Blue" was mostly recorded and mixed in December 04 and March 05 at Czaar Studios and MCM Studios. The biggest change is the length of the album(31 minutes) with this being about half of what the previous two were. All four musicians are multi instrumentalists with a lot of instruments that cross over making them quite flexible in a live setting and in the studio. There's three songs that would be worthy to be included on the previous two albums but this record just doesn't click with me as a whole.

The opener and closer are both 30 something second pieces. "Baroque" is a top three and the first half while good just doesn't compare to when they amp everything up to the end. "Zulumatic" is also a top three opening with drums as the organ joins in. Bass as some canterbury/psychedelic sounds take over and the bass is really upfront. The keys echo and the drumming is active. A high energy tune. The other top three is "... And Soon The Aces Will Ensue" and it's spacey to start before deep sounds in darkness arrive a minute in. The guitar is crying out after 2 1/2 minutes. This is really cool sounding. Headphone music that turns experimental. I just feel 3.5 stars is just right as the other three tracks bring this down a tad.
