Métal Intégral - Review / DEREK SHERINIAN

L' water and fire

Approximate translation of the review

Untiring metronome, Derek SHERINIAN delivers to us, at the end l' summer 2011, its 6th album studio under its name, Oceana, while making live PLANET X and BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, its other musical intentions current.

These 9 new compositions join again with the Jazz melody and exalté Rock'n'roll Fusion that l' ex-keyboard of DREAM THEATER had more or less forsaken during its last creations and qu' it s' employ here to ignite with its keyboards with various sonorities, of the piano with l' organ Hammond, while passing by the Moog. Qu' they name Tony McALPINE (Five Elements, Mercury 7), Steve LUKATHER (Mulholland, Euphoria), Steve STEVENS (Ghost Runner, Oceana), Joe BONAMASSA (I Heard That) or Doug ALDRICH (El Camino Diablo), these 5 guitarists qu' it n' is more need to present, invited by the Master of the places, overflow of feeling and d' inspiration, as much on the level of the solis, or even coupled or s' offering master keys d' weapons with the keyboards, forts many on this Oceana. Certain melody lines of guitars will be able to recall here or there what proposes Joe SATRIANI. Low of Jimmy JOHNSON and Tony FRANKLIN (out of 2 titles) groove admirably, as it should be the, accessory one d' a battery with the languorous play (Euphoria, I Heard That) or definitely more rate/rhythm (l' excellent and trépignant Ghost Runner), held by Simon PHILIPS, joint author and Co-producer.

This new album is d' a full instrumental resonance, rich in melody. Each title brings its batch of harmonious bravery (Mercury 7, Oceana), making forget mitigated the Molecular Heinosity (2009), but pointing out l' Mythology excel (2004). Oceana surfe thus unquestionably on the top of the vagueness of the productions of Derek SHERINIAN, true Caligula of the keyboards!
