Confusion Field from Finland released a
debut album ”Disconnection Complete” a few months ago. It's been
labeled as ”heavy prog” in Prog Archives, so that's what it is. So far the reviews have been
surprisingly positive: ”Highly recommended for fans of
melancholic metal such as Riverside or Katatonia, but also for fans
of neo-prog artists such as t, IT, or John Mitchell, or for those who
enjoy the atmospheric soundscapes of bands such as Pink Floyd or
Nosound.” - The Progressive Aspect ”Captured in an excellent
contemporary sound, Disconnection Complete turns out to be a
wondrously irresistible musical conjunction.” ”Arranging a personal top 10 list out
of all the beautiful albums that appear yearly is usually a difficult
procedure. That has not been made any easier by Confusion Field's
very convincing and astounding debut album. It's a successful
project, worthy of a mandatory listen for fans of modern progressive
rock.” - Dutch Progressive Rock Page (DPRP) ”Confusion Field's debut album sounds
confident and enviously international ” - Kaaoszine, Finland "Pink Floyd on steroids" - Made In Metal, Spain People have mentioned several bands
while describing Disconnection Complete. Riverside, RPWL, Eloy, Rush,
Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel, Conception etc. What does it sound like to you? http://www.confusionfield.com/" rel="nofollow - www.confusionfield.com

I think greater insight can probably be obtained by my interview with Tomi, rather than from my review, but thanks for the compliment. It would be ungracious of me not to accept it! 🤪 Interview: https://theprogressiveaspect.net/blog/2021/07/24/tomi-kankeinen-confusion-field/" rel="nofollow - https://theprogressiveaspect.net/blog/2021/07/24/tomi-kankeinen-confusion-field/ ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

Yes, the interview was great as well! Nick, you truly have deserved all the compliments and more. It's a big deal for a no-name-band like us to get noticed by media. ------------- Conform or be cast out. |

”All in all, this is modern Finnish heavy prog at its best, very good in the international level, and warmly recommended especially to fans of the likes of Riverside.” http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2690892" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=2690892CD is still available from https://www.recordshopx.com/artist/confusion_field/disconnection_complete/" rel="nofollow - RecordshopX and https://justforkicks.de/en/shop/progressive/11695/disconnection-complete" rel="nofollow - Just for Kicks . ------------- Conform or be cast out. |

I very much enjoyed reading the interview with Nick. Interesting. I just listened to some of your music for the first time to see what it reminded me of, and I played the "Sky Is Never the Same" excerpt at confusionfiel.com and my impression was that it reminded me of a sort of heavy metal version of the title song from the NeverEnding Story soundtrack (meets Saxon maybe), which I happen to enjoy a lot, but please don't quote me on that. ;) We do bring in our own reference points and associations, whether sensible to others, whether actual influences, or not. We do sometimes hear what we want to hear, and we all hear things, and interpret sound/music a little differently as we bring our own experiences, associations and tastes. I like the C64 message in the teaser above. I had a Commodore 64. I have re-played some of those games, like Conan, Bruce Lee and Impossible Mission on emulators. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Very interesting indeed. Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the interview. Nick did a great job with that. Yes, everybody has their own associations. And while your impression might sound a little weird at first, there is actually a very logical explanation. 80's pop has influenced my songwriting a lot. Giorgio Moroder has written so many great songs. My heavy metal past seems to be creeping up through my songs unconsciously too. It's so great to hear what kind of associations people have. Thanks for sharing, Logan! I still have my C64 up and running, as you can see from the teaser. Still playing the original games. :) Conan the Barbarian was great back then. Commodore is also a hint about the album's lyrical theme. It's about nostalgia and escapism. ------------- Conform or be cast out. |
