10 words or less: 17th century lyrics sung to
Jazz/Rock Fusion

Elaboration: Combining the beautiful voice of Sarah
Pillow with the Fusion backing of musicians from the
bands Brand X and Tunnels probably seemed like a good
idea on paper. Indeed the ethereal opening track
almost had me convinced but what makes the opening
track successful is the absence of percussion. Once
the Drums come into play, the 17th century lyrics
blend with the Rock rhythms like oil and water. While
I will admit to a certain bias against Vocals in
Fusion, this is not the sole reason for what I feel is
wrong with this combination. The lyrics have a very
pastoral quality, especially the ones sung in Latin,
and to put them against a backdrop of heavy Fusion
just doesn’t work. Ms. Pillow has a wonderful voice
and The guys from Brand X and Tunnels play some mean
tunes but never the twain shall meet. ~ L Perez
