Review of "Forbidden Dimension"
|
By: Dave Palmer
t's really amazing how many instrumental musicians are out there and the
number of them that tend to be higher quality in terms of both musicianship
and songwriting. Francesco Fareri can be added to that ever growing list
with his latest album 'Forbidden Dimension'. The album is released via the
Finnish label Lion Music which has a pretty solid roster of musicians that
feel comfortable in this genre. One may be surprised though at the angle
Fareri puts on his music. He plays very fast and you could definitely
consider him a shredder. He even plays a seven string axe which I thought
was interesting. The album opens with 'Days', a short intro based mainly on
the piano, but then launches into the second track 'Illusions' which had me
thinking Chris Poland and his album from quite a few years back. The
approach taken on this album is not the typical. It's amazing how hard
driving it is.There are moments of slowdown as well, but the majority of the
album really rocks.The only slow track on the album is 'Secrets (part 2)'.
Probably the one thing that stood out in my mind was how the keyboards
accentuated Fareri's playing. Vitalij Kuprij and Bob Katsionis lend a
keyboard hand to the album with great results, not to mention Fareri plays
keys as well. It's fast, has attitude and displays just how far Fareri has
come in his 10 years of playing. He is definitely making a name for himself
and is definitely worth checking out.
Overall:
A very good instrumental shredder. There are some great guest musicians that
add enhancement to the album such as Vitalij Kuprij and Bob Katsionis.
Fareri is one of the fastest players I think I have ever heard. If you are
looking for a shredder, this one's a good bet!
