Syrinx - Reification Apparently, the musicians of Syrinx come from different bands, some of which are well-known on a national or international level and that the name and career of each musician are unimportant. For the moment, they do not wish to add to explanations already given in the album; in fact they are "transcribers". Which is a shame because their complex instrumentasl fusion is fascinating and compelling listening. The four musicians play acoustic guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, drums and occasional flute, and regard their output as 'metamorphic music' and themselves as merely transcribers. Which is either interesting or weird, depending on your viewpoint. The concept behind the album seems to be a complex mix of Greek mythology and Gnostic beliefs. Fortunately, you can read as much or as little into the concept as you wish, allowing the flowing, melodic instrumentals to stand on their own or act as signposts into other realms of consciousness. It's not for m to pass comment on the belief systems of others, suffice to say, the music alone is remarkable. The title track, "Reification", is probably the best number on the album, washing you into their music, and preparing you for the journey ahead which comprises of classic prog, some jazz fusion and a swathe of electronica. http://syrinx-aeon.com/ |
