Kinesis

Slow Gin, shows the band is not standing still, and may be their best yet

Product Description

SLOW GIN is the group’s third creation and is the result of two years intensive work. After Spaced Out (2000) and Eponymus II (2001), this new CD is guaranteed to please those who enjoyed Spaced Out’s previous albums, and is set to appeal to many more.

Antoine’s main goal is to bring quality music on a different level compared to that of previous albums, whilst keeping the sound that the band has already created so far. The musical experimentation and the research for authenticity is also part of the project. The music on SLOW GIN is features more room for bass solos all executed from the capable hands of Antoine Fafard.

Wow. Another amazing album in the instrumental METAL realm. This album is right there with Alarum, Canvas Solaris, Gordian Knot, etc...Very diverse drum patterns, amazing bass work that would make Jaco, Sean, Victor, and Cliff very happy, tech-jazz-metal guitar, with a touch of keyboard/guitar synth made for insane minds!!! The bass work on this album is great!

I like this album a bit more than some free-form-jazz-tech-death-insane-metal, such as Behold...The Arctopus, because it isn't as jagged. I do love Behold, though. On the opposite side of the spectrum, this album isn't as bland as some other older tech metal bands, but I won't name any names. What I mean by that is that this music isn't full speed and near constant time changes. This album isn't bland at all, but it does take the funk to a slow dance speed sometimes. You like some funk every now and then, admit it!

This album reminds me of an album called Pilgrimage by a band named VUVR. REAL metal-formed music rules, regardless of the specific type, because of the thought put into it, the originality, the creativeness, and the untouchable badassness, and this album is testament to that. Let the metal flow!!!
