About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The two musicians featured on this album, Terry Bozzio and Billy Sheehan, have been featured on over 100 albums. That is a pretty remarkable accomplishment, and one that would lead to high expectations for the quality of the disc. Well, Bozzio and Sheehan sure know how to deliver, and not in a generic and expected way either. They have produced an album that really does come quite close to defying definition. The title is perhaps quite appropriate, as much of the music seems to have a cinematic texture, telling a story in much the same way as a film would. The title loses a little of its relevance in that there are ten, not nine tracks here, but listeners can give them that one. Truth be told, this fine album seems to cover a lot of varied styles and textures, entertaining the whole way through. The sounds on the album seem to vary from Zappa-ish to Crimson-esque to Peter Gabriel-inspired all the way to modes that call to mind the Police, with little that falls between left untouched. This one will most likely surprise you, but should certainly thrill you, too. Gary Hill, All Music Guide

August 15, 2006: I play this cd every month or so thinking that I've missed the main ingredient that makes me say Oh, there it is! But every time I fail to find the moment. Billy's bass is absolutly buried somewhere in production. You can hear it at times between all the screeches and thumps but not the way I want to. Terry's drumming talent is lost in his efforts to recreate some kind of oppressive demon of Zappa. The vocals sound like the Son of Central Scrutinizer. After falling in love with Bozzio's work on UK's Danger Money and Sheehan's work with Talas, Roth and Mr. Big, maybe I was expecting too much. As a bassist myself I was giddy the day I bought this cd. In my mind, this should have been the most deft, whoopazz rhythm section offering since Peart/Lee or Levin/Gadd. Boy, was I wrong. This cd is most definatly for the 1% out there that get it.

September 01, 2004: Should be 4.5 stars. This is an exceptional work that doesn't so much cross boundries as redefines them. Ethereal and edgy, with dark vocals (in delivary and content) and extreme displays of musicianship...displays that are not a product of show-boating, but of digging in to find the perfect sound. Yes, the work is atmospheric (which some may not dig), but it is also classic Bozzio & Sheehan. Possibly a small step below Bozzio's solo work and Sheehan's "Compression" & work with Vai, but only a small step. I highly recommend it.
