LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT 3

Here's a failed opportunity to show that the musical power of these great performers can be harnessed for more than just empty displays of virtuosity. The whole album is a succession of dizzying solos, spectacular in their technique, but empty in their musical content. Little emotion is breathed among the overwhelming succession of sixteenth notes. Of course, there are interesting moments and some good tunes here and there. And the communion between the interpreters is very successful. It is clear to all of us that these musicians are masters of their instruments, but music is more than just technique. Maybe next time...
