AEON SPOKE
2004 , USA - EURO 15.00
Label: MERCY STROLL
ALBUM REVIEW
ĈON SPOKE, sophisticated modern rock wading in melancholic waters, is Paul Masvidal (vocals/guitar), Sean Reinert (drums/backing vocals), Evo (guitar) and Stephen Gambina (bass). Paul and Sean first bonded musically as teenagers in Miami, where proficiency and perseverance saw their first band Cynic propelled to indie bestseller status. Cynic went on to become the stuff of cults and web shrines dedicated to their influential and visionary prog-art rock-metal band. As the most requested reissue in the Roadrunner catalog, the Cynic debut titled "Focus" will be back in stores October 5th. After the excitement of world tours and international kudos, the pair relocated to Los Angeles and formed Aeon Spoke with Evo, introduced by mutual friends, following with Stephen Gambina joining the group...Aeon Spoke's sound is at once earthy and ethereal. Song themes describe the rawer emotions of human experience and reflect on unanswered questions of living in the here and now. Deceptively simple rhythms lay the foundation for soaring vocal melodies and otherworldly harmonic guitar textures. Influences range from early jazz to Bach to 60's/70's folk music...For Fans of Porcupine Tree & Blackfield (Just for Kicks)
