5.0 out of 5 stars Weckl is the man, December 18, 2002

I really dig Perp. Motion and like the fusion/latin stuff he's moved more toward. In a way, despite the added horns, some of this new stuff with the enhanced synthesizer presence reminds me of "Hard Wired" with Jay Oliver. The odd time jam (track 6)is cool, not to mention all his soloing over the bass/keyboards vamps throughout the CD. The final track blows me away. I would have liked to have heard a little more riding on his stacked mini-china on this CD as he has on past releases. Also, I thought parts of the opening track might have sounded cool if he "swung" the beat rather than riding eighth notes on the aux hi-hat..... but who the hell am I to talk??? The drumming is his best yet in my opinion, but I personally prefer the overall musical style of "Transition" just a little more.

As always, Weckl's drumming is exceptional. That goes without saying. What I enjoy about this CD almost as much, though, is the addition of Jerry Hey's incredible horn section on several tracks. They bring an extra juice to the album that, even if you are not a fan of Weckl, make the album an excellent purchase. You can also find the same horn section on Weckl's Master Plan CD, which I also recommend heartily.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gets better and better., January 22, 2007

I heard Multiplicity first, then Rhythm of the Soul. Now Perpetual Motion. Perpetual Motion just gets better and better every time I hear it. I love it! I think every Dave Weckl CD makes you appreciate his other CDs. You understand and "get" his music more fully. I notice more and pick out different songs each time. The music truly grows with each listen.It's hard to pick out favorites. I love Double Up and Overdrive. I think his daughter's voice on the beginning of Child's Play has a very clear sweetness about it and is appropriate to the song. Dave Weckl just keeps getting better and I look forward to all the days ahead.
