PARADIGMS

Since T.A.P advertisted on PA for reviews, I'll oblige. I'm not familiar with any of these musicians, or their side projects, but there is no doubt that they are good. The music on "Paradigms" is instrumental psychedelic space jams. If that sounds good to you then you'll probably enjoy this album. Most songs just float about freely with no surprises, no build up, no climax, just repetition and noodling, as on the one chord tune, "Initiate Protocol 7". Unfortunately there is nothing to keep me engaged and I lose interest. The rest of the songs on the album are similar, yet they have more than one chord.

So, not for me, but from the reviews and praise for this album it appears I'm in the minority.
