LIND

"Wounded Knees" electro synth, reverberated, throbbing vocals, syncopated rhythm; air heavy, jazzy, the base is melodic, nervous; vocals on Devin TOWNSEND and TOTO, on musical paradoxes; captivating and offbeat with a complex fusional drift, far from the bold sound of THE ANCESTRY PROGRAM. "Lost Words" surprising between rhythmic jazzy avant-garde passages and soaring atmospheric sounds; we find a djent hit associated with that of Robert FRIPP, hilarious like Marek's sax on it. "This Dream" extends the crimsonian sound on one side with the jazzy sound on the other; the distant voice you will have to get used to; like, a TOWNSEND-ZAPPA merger; the electro piano comes at the end with a characteristic jazzy ambiance.

"A Third Ear Conversation" continues with keyboards that restore a fat sound; the hit is his trademark and takes the hypnotic tune on a metronomic slope; avant-garde for those who adore the master ZAPPA; its versatile sound, a bit fragmented and even disturbing, of an impoverished FLOWER KINGS. "Redesign" as the epic track giving guests musical time; Lind still plays drums, bass, guitar and keyboard; a structured jazz-prog fusion disorder which flows into a much more sustained crescendo in the last third and a hypnotic bass; hard and almost pure prog drenched in jazz, a jazzy ersatz of KING CRIMSON.

"Another Try" has the particularity of having Marco from SYLVAN with his calm voice, his unique climbs and instrumental escapades all forming into a hilarious MASSIVE ATTACK; multi-drawer keyboard parts bewitch or repel you to see. "One Million Ways" dynamic base with the drums in the background bringing together the electro sounds; repetition emerges; the end of 10 seconds more pleasant. "Comfort Zone" with a fat riff that dusts the ears; the voice always invasive; the guitar allows you to breathe even if the jazzy TOWNSEND sensation is there: an impassable wall; a haven of peace the guitar at this moment with a final Japanese dark-wave riff which is relieving.

"Move On Gently" with Caro yes a feminine voice and not doctored; we breathe a little, the jazzy atmosphere becomes electric and can recall ANAID or AQ&F on a crazy Zeuhl basis. "Trapped in Haze" for the last song; we start to close our ears and suddenly stop: it's not over, a slow growl yes why not and a solo from Kalle; the monolithic, captivating synth allows this metallic space which was a little lacking on the rest of the album and gives it more depth, a good TOWNSEND encore there.

LIND poses a singular universe as strange as the 'thing' on the cover; a wild experiment; a sound that uses calm moments to bring warmth, sustained moments to calm raw dissonances. For fans of SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLES, UNIVERSE ZERO and especially THINKING PLAGUE and master ZAPPA.
