As was indicated on "Is This My Guitar or An Albatross" Raoul's creativity knows no bounds - "Chameleons In Disguise" is more evidence of that. Raoul has the skills and knowledge to exploit that creativity into unique nuggets of musical sound. He likes to describe his efforts as music for the soundtrack minded - not that I disagree, but what I hear is sonic ruminations melded and orchestrated into joyful, often playful, songs. Sonic territory explored includes everything from rave-ups, to swinging jazz, to sweet ballads, to bouncing funk, to quasi-techno outbursts, to various forms of world music, and straight-ahead rockers - it's all included on "Chameleons In Disguise."

Certain tracks herk and jerk like involuntary spasms - and I mean that in the best way possible. Whether a seamless transition or a deliberate attempt to infuse the listener with juxtaposed sound, "Chameleons In Disguise" begs to be heard. It's an imaginative tour de force. I'm not culturally adept and I would be an absolutely failure at "Name That Tune." As such, I'm sure there are musical references to TV show themes, commercial jingles, and other similar and familiar melodies that just completely escape me at the moment.

Rullian's "Chameleons In Disguise" would be a welcome addition to the CD collection of any fan who appreciates instrumental music.
