Drive Magazine Review (rough translation, originally in Italian)
September 2004It
does to say of a disk that it plays precisely like if it was gone out
in 1972? Nothing of weird, the rock always had an eye of care towards
the actual past (... and I would be lacking us also!), certainty, to the
day of today to name bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer even if
comes looked at with suspect (to wrong? To reason? It decide you!),
however dovreste to experience to dedicate a minimum of caution towards
the Eccentric Orbit, new American group of expert guided musicians from
the bassista and composer Bill Noland. The greater aspiration of the
Eccentric Orbit, like the titles of the cd advise us and the nice
Martian toy in covered, is that of omaggiare the cinema of science
fiction and to recreate the same atmospheres of the old classics of the
cinema ski/fi. The musical language is that of the epic rock, symphonic
and psychedelic of the seventies, the pieces are entirely instrumental,
just to give back much more the idea of hypothetical "resonant column",
the excellent quality of record and the individual capacity of the
undeniable musicians. The sources of inspiration of the Eccentric Orbit
are eminent names like EL&P, in good part of the arrangiamenti, in
the utilization of the organ and of the synth; King Crimson, for certain
scores of mellotron and for the twisted sound of the low one, and also
the Hawkwind in the most celestial moments and visionaries, specially in
Forbidden Planet, the masterpiece of the disk, a suite of fourteen
minutes inspired. Likely the Eccentric Orbit did not still show all
their potential, to strokes the music proceeds in manner a little
mechanic, for now leave us a very nice debut, facendoci to imagine what
very interesting for the future... we will be to see!
