4.0 out of 5 stars
Top act, but not top release, February 4, 2007
This review is from: Light Up Ahead (Audio CD)
I'm a huge fan of Tim Reynolds, and was long before the Dave Matthews Band gave him name recognition far beyond the Virginia/Carolinas area. But I'm *especially* a fan of his work with Robert Jospe (drummer, also of the Charlottesville Swing Orchestra and a number of other central VA acts).
This release has Pete Katz on bass - not bad, but the original tour de TR3 force involved Warren Richardson on bass. He brought along some cheesy lyrics, though not as bad as the Flecktones' Futureman, or Galactic's - and he was a crucial part of the sound, at least as I came to love it.
To hear Warren, look for the earlier TR3 release SHIFTING CURRENTS. You may also note a shift from a Middle Eastern-y vibe punctuated with funky rock on Currents, to something more ambiently psychadelic on Reynolds' later releases such as Gossip of the Neurons.
