KIND OF RED

His lates album to date , issued in february this year 2012 named Kind of red with a very intresting cover art is another good album from him, but is my least fav from his last 5 albums or so. The amound of sax is bigger then on his last 2-3 albums and in places is very usual for my ears. Another change in line up, with Hugh Steinmetz on trumped added. Taylor's Universe music is not easy to listening, is hard to get into, but when you get undernith anyone will be fascinating by the quite original ideas brought into prog rock music in last two decades. I said that this latest album is my least fav, because here , he really uses almost all the ideashad on previous work annd adding a more doze of sax and horn arrangements, but keeping the rest of the instrument on fire aswell. Not a pieces is in front, maybe Tortugas being among the best from here, all are ok, but far from the greatness of previous albums. Anyway Taylor's Universe music must be discoverd by many prog fans as possible, some of the album really worth to be investigated. 3 stars
