IN FLUX

FONYA is the one man project of American Chris Fournier. He plays lead guitar, bass and keyboards while adding programmed drums to the mix. He also produced it and of course created all the songs. This is an all-instrumental album that clocks in at an exhausting 79 plus minutes. Ouch !

This is mostly synth-led music with the odd guitar outburst and lots of those programmed drums too. I like the bass on a couple of tracks where it's quite chunky, but overall this is a tough listen. Very samey and the sound quality while not poor isn't that great. Lets put it this way, there's a lot more to complain about than to rave about or enjoy. The highlight is his cover of GENESIS' "Los Endos / Hairless Heart". Not that it's that good but just to hear a composition like that at the end of this album is a real lift to my spirit.

No question about Chris having lots of musical talent and ambition, but I can't recommend this one at all.
