5 stars Why did no one on the prog-archives bother to write a review of this great album ? People you haven't listened to it yet? But you've lost a lot !!! Be sure to check out the work titled,, brain,, by any means possible. This release of 2018 is for me the best work of the band Lapis Lazuli* out of the six already released . ( but how often great musicians choose ridiculous names* for themselves....but this is my bad opinion).It all starts with a cool cover, which probably conveys the essence of what the musicians offered us. And so this is the most excellent fifty-minute instrumental prog - jazz - rock-Canterbury-psychedelia (with unconditional funk interspersed ) a journey performed in the format of a quartet ...but how ! Two eccentric guitars (one of them periodically simulates synthesizers ! and these synth parts are great and remind Canterbury of themselves in all their weird and slyly humorous glory ). The bass guitar is very different, as are the percussion instruments. All five compositions are full of various non-banal changes of themes and great memorable passages. The mood of the compositions is full of some strange mocking and cunning.... but at the same time, there are also dark and brooding instrumental themes . I listened to this album more than a dozen times, and always found something new for myself (but every time I was I was filled with a music lover's high!). My rating is five stars!
