In writing about Dwight Sirls' previous album, "The Human Complexity," I used the description "intriguing, other-worldly, always compelling." After my first listen to his follow-up project, PURPOSE, I will add to that description by telling you that his music continues to be brilliantly inventive and profound. This amazing multi-instrumentalist does literally everything on this disc, from writing, arranging, and performing to engineering and mixing. PURPOSE is another deep dive into the creative world of Mr. Sirls' psyche, as expressed through his music. He puts it this way: "Each song... is straight from my feel zone... This direct feel I believe is the past visions and thoughts of my ancestors deeply stored in my genome... I really hope those that listen can sometimes take that moment and go to their inner-most zone and bring to the surface some of those archived thoughts and visions." His instruments of choice for this project include six, five, and four-string bass, four-string fretless bass, electric and classical guitars, synths, keyboards, and the manipulation of drum and percussion samples. The result of all this thought and creation is, once again, unique and riveting. You really must experience this CD, as with the previous one, to truly appreciate its depth. Dwight Sirls' PURPOSE is a further evolution of the profound musical journey we embarked upon with "The Human Complexity." You need to stay on board for the next leg of this amazing musical journey! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN
