4 stars 'No More...' - Fromuz (Single)

Here is a single song from the Uzbekistani jazz fusion ensemble Fromuz (styled From.uz). Left off of their 2011 double album 'Quartus Artifactus', I can see why Fromuz may have wanted 'No More...' to take its own path, as the sound here is fairly different than what the album had in store. Whereas 'Quartus Artifactus' was primarily an instrumental jazz fusion affair, Fromuz uses a variety of different styles and fuses them all together into one eight minute song. The most striking thing about this song is the use of vocals, which is something I had heard Fromuz do a little bit on their latest LP, but it felt like an idea that was never really explored. 'No More...' proves to me that Fromuz should certainly check into this sound more, the vocals really compliment the more traditional prog sound they have here. On top of melodies and soaring vocals that sound almost spotted from neo-prog, there is still the impressive jazz musicianship in the technical instrumental sections. A very good song with enough ideas to call it something of a mini-epic. Great stuff!
