Lindsey Boullt - Composition

Just For Kicks Music (2007)

(10 pieces, 40:05 minutes play time)

In June 2007 the album

appeared “Composition” the

American Lindsey Boullt, which

fulfilled itself thereby a long

cherished dream. The bent skirt

fan should not let itself be

diverted however from the

album title, because it concerns

with that CD not around a

classical work, but skirt with

progressive influences. But

Lindsey does not only ensure,

since its 21. Lebensjahr guitar

plays, the instrument at the

Guitar institutes OF Technology

in Los Angeles studied and

meanwhile as guitarist and a

composer in San Franzisco was

established.

For this album it has a illustre round of musicians such as Jerry

Goodman at the violin (Mahavishnu Orchestra), Derek Sherinian at

key boards (ex-Dream theatre, Chroma key, planet X), Stu Hamm at

the bass (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai), Atma Anur at the schlagzeug,

Jeremy Colson at the schlagzeug, Jon Herrera at the bass, Sukhawat

Ali Khan - singing, Peter Van Gelder to the Sitar and Mingo Lewis at

Perkussion around itself geschart. These musicians intervene however

not all at the same time in the happening, separate partly alternate.

Came out a quite pressureful album, which exhibits parallels to LED

zeppelin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra as well as some Ethnosounds,

which go into the

Arab/eastern direction. The guitar work of the late

fuze Lindsey (it began to only seize with 21 into the strings) on

highest level, which leads in addition, to it, is technical that several

times nevertheless quite violently one gefrickelt.

„Chasing The Whirling Dervish“ so a mixture from asiatic sounds and

rhythms with acoustic guitar are á la LED zeppelin. Follows this piece

with „Moving Panvishnu“ an instrument valley, which begins first very

pressureful, then however also quite structures vertrackten

themselves and unite Frickelpassagen as well as Jerry’s violin very

variedly developed.

One sings on the album quite rarely. And if, then as in „Call For

Peace“ becomes; the voice honour as instrument assigned. With this

TRACK, like already with the Opener, an Arab tendency arises. With

violent Drums and a bass front, „Bravo Davo starts de la Torre“ so

that a mixture from Metal, Prog and Ethno develops here. „Aurora’s

Aura“ developed by Jerry’s violin play a certain jazzige atmosphere.

„Taste The Hate“ among other things an Indian flair with jazzigen

pieces of disalignment offers by the employment of the Sitar.

After the nevertheless by sections quite violent Gefrickel is „Farewell“

a correct wohltat for the ears, because sounds to Lindsey here more

after a Satriani and umschmeichelt the ears with a very beautiful

melody on its e-guitar.

„Composition“ is an album on highest technical level, which concerns

the guitar work of Lindsey. For my taste a too high meaning comes

to the Gefrickel however nevertheless. Who does not disturb itself to

it, a successful mixture from Metal, Prog, jazz and Ethno gets.
