SOLAR MUSIC - LIVE

Wow! Normally, I don't like live albums, but this is something extraordinary: an album that captures the electric energy of a particular night; an album that successfully conveys the tremendous exchange between the performers and their audience, the way in which the band hits their groove, is a the top of their game, and how the audience fuels their transcendent performance. And the music is GREAT! It's mesmerizing, it's inviting, it's fresh and unexpected, it's theatric and yet hypnotic. I love the vocalist's histrionics and eccentricities. I love the guitar playing. I love being swept into the music and being held there for the length of the recording. I love that the songs all bleed one into the next. And this is a great recording that doesn't feel as if it's been glossed over or tampered with in the mixing/production process. Definitely one of the best live albums I've ever heard. And, besides, a masterpiece in performance art and musical content. This is AWESOME music! Top notch composition, performance, and collaboration.
