Paradox One - Reality Quake (Neurosis)

It's a funny old world. This CD arrived from Euclid, Ohio containing music created and recorded in Scotland. But that's the interconnected world for you.

Paradox One is the brainchild of Phil Jackson and is centred on two, electronic, psychedelic, epics. "Urmon 116" is a suite in 4 parts based on the Robert Silverberg novel, "The World Inside" and "Crompton Divided" is a set of six musical sketches based on the Robert Sheckley book of the same name. Encompassing twists and turns in every direction, judicious use of sound samples and some evocative mood swings, they are worthy additions to any self respecting psychedelic fans collection.

The CD is rounded off with two shorter pieces, "The End Of All Things" and an adaptation of Robert Schumans "Kinderscenen (Scenes From Childhood)", which are uniformly excellent.

If you are in the least bit musically adventurous, then there is much to enjoy here. Highly recommended.
