THE IDIOT KING

At first I only thought that this was just another project of musicians being brought together by the Magna Carta label. Well, I think it really is. But this one goes way beyond the boring prog metal that Liquid Tension and all those guys play. This music is like anything else Ive ever heard before. This is true fusion! combining the classic fusion elements with metal and new age stuff and of course,progressive elements are taken into account also. Michael Manring I think is the Stanley Clarke of our time, playing the fretless bass in an unbelievable way. Alex Skolnik comes up with a lot of loud guitar and fast solos, which makes a cool contrast with Manring´s jazzy style. And what can I say about Herb, me being a Primus fan!!! Herb´s just awesome, but anyways, this is great experimental music recommended for everyone who enjoys wierd and dark stuff.
