But the character suddenly realises that he could imagine his own descent into insanity because of how vivid the vision of his fantasy is. It goes on and it's pretty wild. Imagine, if you will, this tale set to a spooky swirl of sound - with drums that sound like they were miked in a submarine and angular guitars that leap at you from alternate corners of the sound panorama. Once you get it on your own four cd players in one room, the voice just creeps and floats through that sound web and it really does enchant you. Synchronised screams and two, then three interlocking drum patterns coming from all directions.
Huge bass sounds fading into a glorious piano lick that is itself surrounded by voices and strings.
Lush, deep, enriching and, above all, exhilirating. They just seem to have absorbed all music and put it back in a form so different that you really can't identify any of it any more. It will however, force people who hear it to sit down and think about what it will mean when they say they're going to make a record from now on. And maybe, in years to come, we'll all be looking back to that release date of the 28th of October 1997. You can read some more on Zaireeka, written by Joe Janecek.
