■ One BC, the first all instrumental solo album by The Reds® crazed keyboard player, Bruce Cohen, starts off with Ambione, a lush soundscape that would be right at home on a Tangerine Dream album.
■ Now get ready to dance a groove with Shadows, a funky, faux middle-eastern slab of grease.
■ Miles Davis at one time had the greatest percussionist around, Mtume, and this namesake song is for him, spatial and dramatic.
■ Blues from Venus? Well, not exactly, but Interocitor Blues could have come from there . . . slow moving beats and cinematic strings rule the day on this one.
■ We now come to Cosey, another Miles alumni, this composition reflects on the giant of a man who wielded the guitar like no one else. Smooth, noisy and lush.
■ OK, hold on, here comes Third Rail . . . for those who will, let's say, indulge, just a little psychedelic kaleidoscope of sounds.
■ Set The Control For The Heart of Trent Reznor in Three Forty Seven . . . a pounding percussion backed up with swaying dark sounds for those waiting for Klaatu to land.
■ Next is And How, a trip-hopping movie theme, with treated Hollywood strings for the next film about demented lovers.
■ Ready to go down the River Styx? Then Stream will provide the music for your trip, and the fog horn from hell will guide you there.
■ Death in Venice is taken from the book/movie of the same name. Is the music heroic or sad? You decide. A slow, hard beat drives this song along with an almost Arabic theme running through with choppy waves of sound.
■ Time to get up and do the Sal Mineo Rumba, an off beat trip-hop-acid-jazz piece with deep bass a PIL fan would love, along with some white hot distorted sounds on top.
■ And last, but not least, this excursion of sounds and grooves ends with a tribute to the man, Em Dee or, in other words, Miles Davis. An on-the-corner stomp with Eastern percussion thrown into the mix with a funky bass, and topped off with a very treated wah-organ solo inspired by the man.
■ One BC has it all. Synths, percussion, deep bass, white noise, music for film, psychedelia and funk, that will take you to unearthly destinations. Enjoy the trip.
