“There are no guitars or keys on this record.”
This can be read on the back sleeve of this cd.
Unfortunately I don’t think this is a real
credit.
Carl Soto, a good bass player without doubt,
obviously wanted to record an album, showing what can be done with
no other means than bass guitars and a bass synthesizer. The result
is rather monotonous. Listening to track number six I still ad the
impression that number one hadn’t ended yet. The music is very
technical, machine made almost, and doesn’t seem to have any soul.
The rare moments where there could be some atmosphere-building are
immediately destroyed by the irritating drum machine. The same theme
and the same rhythms are repeated over and over again and make this
album to a rather boring experience.
Okay, I am surprised about the sounds that can be created by a bass
guitar and bass related instruments, but it’s not this kind of
demonstration that I seek in music. |
