ullian is a California-based all-instrumental progressive rock/fusion band led by
guitarist Raoul Raioa. "Chameleons In Disguise" is the second CD from this amazing
band, influenced by Sixpence None The Richer, Muse, The Propellerheads, Leo Kottke,
Danny Elfman, Joe Satriani, Radiohead and others.
Chameleons In Disguise" is a
journey: 65 minutes of surprising, refreshing, exploding, sensational music. Every
track is completely different from the others: you hear divine guitars but also
piano, viola, tender violin and superb percussion (Reynolds Rap!). You never now
what's next, but it never bores and it all fits in perfectly.
From overwhelming
beautiful moments: "Wish I Was Here", "Don't It Feel Like Sunshine?", "Three Blue
Moons In A Row" (outstanding, breathtaking!) and "Reaching For Peace And Getting A
Handful of Sky" over rock ( The Afternoon You Left), metal (Robotomy, ), techno;
"Fugitive Micron Particles", world music: "Killer Africanized Honey Beats", till the
Vai/Satriani style in "Latin Influenced European Rock Saga... " and of course
"Stacked Bravado".
"Chameleons In Disguise" is the soundtrack of a fantastic voyage
that brings you in space and back on the road again, in Spanish taverns ("Driveway
Dust"), beach walks in the pale moonlight, Irish pubs ("Song For Ghosts") and
wherever your fantasy, guided by this music, will take you.
Conclusion: if you're in
for a good mix of sensational music in different styles: buy it and enjoy it over
and over again!
