5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this instead of more Crimson side men projects., June 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Spiral Out (Audio CD)

This is by far the biggest surprise album I have purchased in a very long time. I like others was reluctant seeing as many Crimson side projects tend to be not as creative as they should be.

At first listen is seems to drag a bit but really it is just leading you down the road to some really great playing especially by Tony Levin. Not that Mr. Oteri and the others are not playing masterfully here. Oteri may be unknown to many but he should not be as his playing is at the top of his game and creative as well sounding like keys and guitar at the same time. Take a close listen with headphones.

The 23 min. jam titled First Light is amazing and is apparently the very first jam Oteri, Levin and Mastelotto did after meeting in the studio.

The production and mixing by Ronan Chris Murphy, who has worked with Crimson on several albums, is superb for what I am assuming is a low budget project.

Mr.Oteri deserves more attention than he seems to be getting from Crim fans as well as fans of jazz and rock.
