Sometimes I miss the pure self indulgence of prog-rock, its fast licks and swirls and Rick Wakemanish classical orchestration. Well I have, via
Jacky, managed to get a quick fix and listen to something new. Thank God there is an alternative to 'Tales From Topographic Oceans'!Phideaux… algo creativo y refrescante.
Phideaux es una banda especialmente anarquista liderada por Phideaux Xavier, un altamente experimentado multi-instumentalista cantante y compositor, oriundo de New York que no sólo se ha dedicado a componer y a interpretar música sino que ha producido a otras bandas que también creen en la innovación.
Éste erudito artista después de una larga trayectoria profesional, emprende junto con el baterista Richard Hutchins un misterioso viaje musical en compañía de otros músicos con quiénes Phideaux ha tenido que ver en algún momento musical y experimentan creando elaboradas piezas musicales, misteriosamente fuertes y a la vez con una composición melódica, salpicadas de rock progresivo bajo un fondo de sutileza que incitan a realizar viajes mentales hacia el mundo de las sensaciones ficticias, elaboradas por la psiquis del oyente.
Es así como ésta particular banda nos invita a volar y a crear nuevos vínculos con uno mismo al hacernos pensar, cuando escuchamos sus interpretaciones psicodélicamente progresivas y góticas, por su profundidad y por lo adictivamente divertidas que éstas pueden resultar.
Translation:Phideaux ... something creative and refreshing.
Phideaux is a band led by anarchist especially Phideaux Xavier, a highly experienced multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer, born in New York dedicated to not only compose and perform music but also produces other bands that believe in innovation.
This erudite artist with a long career, takes us along, with drummer Richard Hutchins on a mysterious musical journey in the company of other musicians with whom Phideaux has been involved in a musical and experience creating elaborate pieces of music, strong and yet mysteriously with composition melodic, progressive rock sprinkled under a background of subtly inciting mental voyages into the fictional world of sensations, produced by the psyche of the listener.
Thus this particular band invited us to fly and create new links with oneself to make us think when we hear their interpretations progressive psychedelic and Gothic, for the depth of them and so additively fun they can be.
