SPIN

Hailing from the Netherlands, the jazz-prog band, Spin, released their self-titled debut in 1976.

The instrumentation in this album is excellent, and there are no tracks on this album that feel like filler or are mediocre or less. One thing that I enjoy about this album are how the instruments blend together to create smooth, rhythmic and complex tracks radiating of summer energy and relaxing tones.

Specifically, I enjoy the bass in certain tracks, like Spinning and Flat Tyre. The bass in this album is funky and fits effectively with the composition of these tracks. The guitar work and drumming is excellent as well and they flow together to fit the mood of certain tracks, especially in energetic tracks like "Excenter"or slower tracks like "Sea and Seasons".

Also, Grasshopper is a strong opener to the album, with gratifying keyboards, jazz elements, and drums blending together to create an interesting, detailed song. The most notable track on here would be the previously mentioned track, Spinning. The mood of this track is undeniably pleasant and laid-back, with a repeated, smooth drum beat, funky bass lines, and warm, lush guitar tones.

Although there are some tracks that aren't as interesting or memorable as others, those inferior tracks still contain smooth instrumentation that is enjoyable. 3.5
