'Me the Enemy' takes off in classic progressive landscape mid-flight right at the outset with accentuated lines and an understated melody slowly developing over a backdrop of thoughtful and sharply sincere guitar.
Female vocals rise from the midst and begin to really let this tune soar. Recalling all the fine songstresses of a beautiful future past, she crests from this here hill, quieting down for a moment to let the song soften up before serving delicately lilting lyrics upon a cloudy precipice. This is further book-ended by heavenly notes being held in a loose fashion with ripely tasteful instrumentation before her voice clutches the words to be spurned out over a driving heavy progressive assault, flaring at the edges and bearing all the earmarks of how a crescendo should be delivered: hot on a roll and buttered.
'After the revolution,' tingling in with piano flourishes, introduces a romantic delivery. . . dreamy and soft to the touch. Cymbals of light tinkles belie the crushed guitar chords piercing in from the back of the mix as we alternate between swooning versus weaving in and out of the ocean created by the song. A very expansive feeling gotten from his one.
Nodding with thicker washes of synth (which have been actually taking place all along) a syncopated ballad becomes the heart of an opus delivery from the outfit. After two minutes, one feels that they have already run along with the breeze in 'Light of other Days.' The halfway point demarcated what would normally be in the middle of a side-long track. Over the span of six minutes, Fluxury has caught in its satchel what has taken progressive bands of the past an entire twenty minutes to compose. Replete with a chorus of male voices and sinuous interrogatory, like condensed milk, this is packed with sweet flavor.
Some jagged rocky beat stutters in right in afterwards showing a vibrancy full stride and aglitter with mesmerizing skyscape. Again, fluidity reigns supreme with another good dose of manna fired up saucer style. The band has netted the true sensibility of progressive rock in a short track, 'I Will be There.'
Closing out this titillating set is a crunchy heavy-guitar and more interloped vocals from the a nice female voice taking care of the duties. Jos has informed that this material is being polished and revamped to the proper form that is envisioned in the group's collective creative head for the 2005 release. We should all await this crew's output with bated breath, they are pulling off a forward-moving renaissance from the master styles we adore from the past. If you like expertly executed expressive and emotional music, Fluxury has your ticket and they will be on sale soon. After the fact, the title of this will surely ring true in saying that 'Nothing's Safe,' it will also apply to our sensibilities - am I having a flashback or has the world opened up a time-warp for them to jump through and express the heart of heady music discovered during the 70's by many a now worshipped group breathing life into music again while reaching for the stars?
