Listen to my beautiful masterpiece!

My review - * *

“Cloudstained Horizon” is an acoustic piece with beautiful harmonics and some interesting scratches, due to bad production, but it somehow works. Don’t ask me how. The guy can actually play as is evident listening to this intriguing instrumental. At 3:18 it even gets into a Spanish flavour. It is repetitious after a while but quite pleasant as background music over a nice kiante and some fava beans FFFFFFFFFFFSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH.

And now from the sublime to the ridiculous we have “The Ghosty Groove”. The weird caterwauling and fart noises perhaps sum this thankfully short piece up. Perhaps Magma influenced.

“Bloodhawks” is an acoustic instrumental with some nice time sigs if you can call them that, it is all over the place literally but I like that so no complaints here. The echo acoustic refrains are admirably executed. I like this one a lot. There are once again many harmonics and Spanish flourishes.

“This is My Piano Song” is a return to the high strangeness of, which leaves me speechless. Parts of it sound like a drugged up chipmunk, other parts might be mistaken for The Residents at their most bizarre. In any case it is not much of a piano song. One listen is one too much. The scream at the end made my wife jump out of her chair. I just laughed.

“Forever” is another acoustic instrumental with a lot of beauty, it is strange how a hyper strange track is always followed by a serious well played acoustic track. After this I was expecting to be jolted out of my brains again with another blast of bizarre bulls dust.

With “Haunted Stars” I was pleasantly surprised as the acoustic time sig is very proggy. Well played guitar riffing with a lot of picking and Spanish strumming and a passage of sliding up the neck for no reason. I liked the echo effects added, making this sound rather eerie. A highlight from the album.

“Welcome to my Spaceship” the alien voice drones, and we return to the bizarre mind of Mr Fynes, a world I would not dare to enter without a search light to get me out again. This one has a chaotic time sig and then it finishes without fanfare. It could have been improved with spacey effects.    

“Crushed by a Hundred Ton Anvil” features a Twilight Zone acoustic style and a frenetic piano running up the keys. Short but it wakes you up.

“Colostomy Bag at a Mosh Pit” features a man losing his flatulence and emptying his bowels while a grungy band plays. More out of place than an eskimo in the Sahara. The less said about this sick trash the better. No laughs from this reviewer.

“Punks Don’t Like Paying the Taxes” is a punkified load of bollocks, worse than the Sex Pistols. Horrible is too good a word for this puerile nonsense.

“I am a Pirate Ship, I am a Corper” has a strong piano staccato motif that has no structure or time sig, and very high falsetto vocals, but I like the way the melody is off kilter and improvised. At least I hope its improvised.

“Rory’s Trumpet Time” is a trumpet instrumental and the instrument is played improv style for a short blast of fun.

“Cats in a Telephone” sounds like a group of mewing cats, made by multi layered processed voice effects. There is no music and once again very short, so the gimmick is not overdone.

  “The Dissonant Variations” features nice piano played with staccato stabs in a jazz fusion style, triumphant trumpet played with a degree of spontaneous feeling and sporadic notes. There is at least a semblance of a time sig here but the main highlight is the frantic piano runs. I actually enjoyed this track. The trumpet is played with some strange notes, but the two instruments accompany one another well.
