I just picked up the mp3 version of Ohmphrey's new album POSTHASTE and it is highly recommended. For those unfamiliar with the band, it is a side project of Jam Band Umphrey's McGee and Heavy Fusion Trio Ohm: featuring Chris Poland, one of the most unique guitarists currently active.
Posthaste is the 2nd album by the project and it's a huge step up in quality. The first album literally was just cuts from 2 days of jamming, Though it was quite good, the band created more realized compositions for this record and the result is really good. Despite my fanboyism of Poland, he is actually really restained and the strength of this album has little to do with his technique.
What makes this album great is that the 5 guys gel so well and they're having a blast playing. It also helps that they're all amazing at their instruments.
What I didn't see coming at all was that there is a pretty big King Crimson influence on this album. The opening track is really heavy, and sound more like Fripp than anything either band has done before.
Anyway, check it out, I think most on this site will at least enjoy the album.
