Just about as eclectic as Jazz can get,
By
This review is from: Isms (Audio CD)
..At times a little too eclectic...This band puts alot on the table with it's compiled 1st american release, and not all of it does work..I do wish they would try for a little less zany, and a little more sincere. When the collective tries too hard to build up sound collages they sometimes suffocate a bit under it's massive weight, but usually the underlying backbone of compositional experience shines through. The most impressive feat here is how many influences come through the jazz format, probally lending itself to the future sounds of a variety of fusion genres more then it does it's own natural genre...Think of the Mr. Bungle (Patton himself handpicked the tracks for this albums release) anything goes mentality, but being executed by actual Jazz musicians...

Good, but not XLS good,
By
This review is from: Isms (Audio CD)
I bought Isms because of the X-Legged Sally connection.
XLS is one of my all-time favorite bands, so when I found out about Flat Earth Society, I had to hear it. The Isms CD is good, very good in places, but it's not quite up to XLS standards. The similarities are there, but it's just not the quite the same insanely energetic, precise, bizzare, Zappa-influenced big band jazz. But if you've heard X-Legged Sally and liked them, then Isms is worth the purchase. You should enjoy it - just don't get your hopes up to high.

The music proved very interesting. Not from my generation but am learning to like it. Musicians prove to be very talented. Seller ships very fast.
