gentlemonkey Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 rollingstone.comAfter seventeen years of heading up Phish, Trey Anastasio takes his Type A trance rock solo. For this outing, he has recruited a supertight eight-piece band -- half of it horns -- to back him on a dozen tunes that will not alienate his longtime neohippie fans. But Trey Anastasio may also entrance dabblers whose only contact with Phish is their incarnation as a Ben and Jerry's ice-cream flavor. Closely packed with urgent horn breaks and friendly guitar solos, Anastasio's new songs are less diffuse than his old roomy improv workouts. The players have the subdued joy of a Latin dance band on fire, especially on the opener, "Alive Again," the busy "Push On Til the Day" and the soul rave-up of "Money, Love and Change." Anastasio is an affable, uncomplicated singer; his intimate voice brings moody, autobiographical numbers such as "Flock of Words" and "Drifting" right up to the listener's ear. It's like hearing an old friend's secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 I haven't heard the new cd yet, but plan to make the trip to Encore Records to get it as soon as it is released. And I must say, this TAB show from July 18, 2001 at Red Rocks that I am listening to right now is wicked!Darien Lake, here I come!!!Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
