Description/Reviews

Dutch project Choreomanic are out with the album "Choreomanic", and this is a production that for me at least feels like a natural fit into a progressive rock context. Funky basslines is a core foundation throughout here, delivered in a manner that reminds just as much of Les Claypool than Red Hot Chili Peppers, and just about as important as the bassline are liberal amounts of brass bursts of the kind, character and nature that adds something of a jazzrock feel to the proceedings. Song structure and development, rhythms and various effects all come in to be a natural and fit and sometime adding a subtle emphasis on the expressive, experimental and playful nature of it all. That the majority of the songs are short, tight and vibrant affairs also needs to be stated I suspect. An album for those who enjoy progressive rock of the kind that is a bit more out there, expressive and experimental in nature. (Olav M Bjornsen at progressor.net's facebook)
