Tim Scott reviews

Jack of Shadows

This CD is definitely non-mainstream but if you sit down and listen to it with all your attention, I think it has some great potential. In particularly I think it would indeed be a fitting soundtrack to the novel of the same name by Roger Zelazny. The cover art work is really cool, and the music is a mix of electronic noise and plain weirdness. In the CD, Tim Scott cites the Ozric Tentacles and Camel (among others) as influences. These influences are quite apparent, though not in a direct manner, particularly in the use of the prog keyboard sounds to a create a lush sonic landscape for storytelling. This is worth looking into if you're into old school electronic prog-rock and want something new.
