3 stars Funky, remixed Bach ? Tripped Chopin with groovy bassy lines ? Oh well, why not - after all, we in Prog Rock ward are a tolerant bunch. Together with Rocky tunes, full of grandiose melodies (even not on a over-the-top scale as it was on "In Collaboration With Gods", even there the "epic" song was composed mostly of motif, repeating itself ad absurdum, but fortunately not losing its power). Michael Quatro seems to me more like successful trickster - great editing and mixing of various sound effects, rather than strong songs. Speaking of such, my favourite one would probably be Ancient Ones, it's a finely crazy one.

In total, this album works, somehow. Not without imperfections, not without some clogging up, but it's nice piece of work and honestly, it tries to be something. Doesn't quite succeeds at that, but the effort is there.

Marty McFly | 3/5 |
