MOOD SWINGS

Former MYSTERY bass guitar player Richard Addison has released his first CD with his new band ADDISON PROJECT. This album and its music is in my ears far better than anything MYSTERY ever recorded, and I didn't think that MYSTERY weren't good; it's just that I like this kind of music even more. What kind of music is it then? It could be described as experimental jazz-fusion blended with progressive rock. Besides bass the band contains two drummers, three guitarists, two sax players, one violin player and two piano and synth players. "Mood Swings" is an appropriate title of the album as it contains many different moods. From freaked out progressive jazz tunes to the closing and very beautiful "Controlled Freedom", a track that contains some parts that reminds me of VANGELIS' "Memories of Green" from the Blade Runner Soundtrack. I really liked this album and I would also like to take the opportunity to recommend the band SPACED-OUT from the same label as ADDISON PROJECT.
