Ревью альбома
http://www.dprp.net/reviews/201037.php
Following on from the DPRP recommended solo CD, Challenging Gravity earlier this year, Steve Unruh and his band Resistor unleash their second album Rise. Harking back to the days of vinyl, the release is being marketed as a double album on one CD with the first album being a collection of five songs and the second album being the epic 39+ minute The Land Of No Groove. Somehow one just knows that secretly the band would have loved to have released this as a double vinyl album in a lavish gatefold sleeve! The line-up of Unruh (guitars, vocals, violin and flute), Fran Turner (guitars), Barry Farrands (drums and backing vocals) and Rob Winslow (bass) remains unchanged with Unruh taking most of the song writing (and all of the lyrical) credits although The Land Of No Groove is a four-way collaboration. Given the outstanding nature of the group's debut album, Rise has a lot to live up to.

Unruh has an unnerving ability to come up with great opening numbers and The Secret Of The Open Sky is no exception. Gloriously upbeat with a fantastic chorus and some great riffing throughout, the song displays a great depth, effortlessly flowing between the heavy opening and closing and slightly more restrained middle section. The subtle violin flourishes are an integral part of the piece although initially it is easy to be unaware of their presence. A really great beginning. The mixing of the guitars with Unruh in the left channel and Turner in the right channel gives plenty of opportunity to hear the two playing styles of the guitarists, particularly when listened to via headphones. Unruh is also credited with the next two tracks, Beyond This Masquerade and the instrumental Spaceghetti. The first of these two numbers opens with acoustic guitar but before long the rest of the band joins in with the two guitars intermingling perfectly. The bass 'bomb' is a nice addition to introduce the chorus and subtle backing vocals add dimension. The instrumental prominently features Unruh's violin which carves out the melody line while Turner's guitar provides a galloping riff that really does make it sound like it comes from a futuristic spaghetti western! A brief pizzicato gives way to a Turner's solo and then onto Unruh's own solo with the bow sawing across the strings. Although some people think that it isn't real prog without keyboards, there is no room in this piece, and in most of the others, where keyboards would fit in and, indeed, their presence would undoubtedly detract from the dynamics and interactions between the already existing instrumentation.

Ether, a Turner composition, is a degree more darker in tone with the solo guitar picking out a repeated pattern underpinned by some strong drumming echoing the guitar. Unruh adds splashes of violin and flute that keep the song ticking over until after about two minutes things are unleashed! Everything seems to be going on at once: descending scales wrought out of the guitar patterns matched by the flute and second guitar. There is so much to hear on this number that it takes several listens to even begin to get to grips with things. Mimosa, presumably the tree and not the cocktail, is the epic of the first album and combines the writing strength of both guitarists. Beautifully written and performed, the 16-minute piece has just about everything the discerning prog fan could wish for. The first five minutes is a lovely melodic section, wonderfully sung with perfect balance. The second section rocks with both guitars adding bite, before the levels are taken down for a violin interlude with layered vocals leading into a reprise of the first section but this time Unruh excelling with his flute contributions and Turner donating a luscious solo to the cause - it is perfectly pitched, paced and played. With three and a half minutes to go the mood changes and the group slide into a slow blues with some exceptionally fine guitar playing. Simply wonderful.

The Land Of No Groove is a fantasy tale of a voyage of discovery but instead of elves and hobbits and other such clichйs, the group of travellers is the band themselves! The journey is mapped out in the centre pages of the booklet so one can follow the group's progress as the track plays. Although the individual sections are sequenced separately, the song needs to be heard from start to finish in one go; the musical themes only making complete sense when played in context with one another and in terms of the story. When I first heard the piece I was a bit perturbed by some narrative sections, particularly on Jagged Mountain. However, more concentrated listening revealed the humour inherent in the writing. With lines like Their legs turned to metaphorical gelatine and Cursedly broadcasting antenna I would smite thee, er if only I had a hacksaw one can appreciate the intelligence and somewhat tongue in cheek nature of the endeavour. But of course, all this would mean nothing if the music was not up to much. But the quality of the 'first' album is maintained throughout and the nature of the piece allows some fun to be had along the way, such as the pseudo sea shanty in Off To Sea, and the magnificent Sea Monster Battle were Barry and his drum fills save the day! There is a tremendous amount of variation within the ten sections and the band are obviously having fun throughout, culminating in the great Groove Revolution which brings almost 79 minutes of quality music to an end.

There is no doubt about it, Resistor are really a class progressive rock band and have displayed over their two albums to date a quality of song writing that many bands fail ever to achieve. The debut album was well received and Rise should easily please those that enjoyed that first album and hopefully expand the group's fanbase even more. The group have played a handful of gigs in their local area but thoroughly deserve wider live exposure as I am sure that one of their gigs would indeed be memorable. Even if the idea of The Land Of No Groove doesn't particularly appeal, then the other 40 minutes of the album are well worth the price of the CD and is arguably better value than a lot of CDs released these days. I thoroughly recommend heading over to the band's page and picking up a copy of this album and whilst there adding a copy of Unruh's latest solo album to your shopping basket as it is highly unlikely you will hear two such consistently great albums released this year, particularly as they have largely derived from the pen of one man.

Conclusion: 10 out of 10
