Alex Machacek - 24 tales

[kantor1003]

is now out and available on itunes among other places. This record is a must listen for everyone fan of experimental music ranging from jazz/fusion/classical/funk/prog/rock/Zappa and everything in-between.

In case you didn't know, Alex has composed everything on this record over a pre-recorded drum solo track by marco minnemann. Awesome concept taken to further lengths than previously. Obviously, this album is really rythmically interesting.. really, really.. combined with alex' unique way of writing, it makes for a really interesting listen from an harmonic perspective as well.

Edit: To actually make anyone listen to this...hmm... just do it, for fucks sake. You have never heard anything like this, and you should do yourself the favor.

I just got the album! I had been meaning to get it for a while now but between dating, herb, and guitar equipment i just didn't have the money. But I must say he definately topped "[sic]" both in technicality and composition; Besides terry bozzio wasn't my favorite zappa drummer (morgan agren is) and I like Minnerman because of his collaboration with Paul Gilbert.

Also how have you been? It really has been a while since we've talked (and since i've been on the forum for that matter.)

Glad to hear you are dating, good for you! Be careful out there :P

Yes, you should. A lot of music crammed into that disc. Not length wise (it's 60 minutes long), but by the intricacy of the compositions. You can probably listen to it 100 times and still hear new things
