2 stars Visionary - or just unemotional notes delivered in a professional manner?

Don't get me wrong, I have due respect to the combined talents involved. It's the end result of their delivery that leaves me cold, unimpressed. This work is as unemotional in a Prog sense as if the musicians were engaged to do just such experiment. In my opinion, they have succeeded.

I have long given up on King Crimson featuring Tony Levin, also on Bill Bruford on his plastic drums. No, thanks. That industrial approach just doesn't gel with me. Liquid Trio Experiment falls into the same category. Technically impeccable, musically a great flop.

Repetitive lines here bore me to be close to suicidal, Bill Laswell and crew can do much better, even on a "bad hair day"

In a stark contrast, the Bozzio, Levin, Stevens albums are a 5 star preference, challenging even Brand X in depth. and delivery. But this piece here is unlikely to receive a second spin.

BORA | 2/5 |
