from Laser's Edge websiteApril 2004Superb
debut release from this Massachusetts based prog rock band. Eccentric
Orbit is an instrumental quartet with an odd lineup - bass, drums,
keyboards and wind-controlled synths. The band is led by bassist Bill
Noland and features Mark Cella (M&M Music) on drums.
The
music of Eccentric Orbit sounds like a long lost album from the 70s. A
heavy debt is paid to King Crimson and ELP. Think Red crossed with
Tarkus! Mellotrons (real not samples), organ and blazing synth runs got
me booging all over Casa Laser's Edge. I haven't heard much good old
fashioned prog rock lately - this one has hit me hard. Will easily be a
top 10 year end candidate for me. Man o' man this disc has me grinning
from ear to ear. Essential.
