There are two ways to evaluate the music on pianist Aaron Choulai's Place. On the one hand, the musicianship is superior, trumpeter Scott Wendholt is in blazing form (he often steals solo honors), and the quintet is quite tight. The weak point to the set is that many of the selections (particularly "Place," "Tic Toc," and "Twenty One") sound as if they are being performed by the 1966 Miles Davis Quintet. Choulai's piano often is pretty influenced by Herbie Hancock and it is difficult to hear Tim Ries in this setting (on either tenor or soprano) and not think of Wayne Shorter. But even within its occasionally derivative nature, the music is stimulating, with highlights being "Dreams of Paper Roses" (which is partly in 7/4), the trio feature "Lotte," and "Twenty One," which in places sounds like an out-of-tempo abstraction on "All the Things You Are." ~ Scott Yanow

This is a collection of songs I wrote with the purpose of expressing an artistic vision, not for the purpose of necessarily selling music. I love many forms of music, and was looking for a way to combine them that would be fresh and original. I am pleased with the result, and sincerely hope you will be too. I have a Master's degree in Psychology and am also a published author, both in print and electronic forms. I especially ...

Faded old-world flowers adorn both sides of the cover with a big strip of black grease disturbing the lovely imagery on the back. Beginning with Arthur Crudup's "My Baby Left Me," like that other band of famous backup players, the Section, how can this be anything but very musical? Guitarist/vocalist Henry McCullough's "Mistake No Doubt" has eerie backing vocals and is suitably well done, as is his "Let It Be Gone," and though this is far from commercial, it is important to have this document of the guys who made magic behind Joe Cocker in 1969 and Marianne Faithfull in the mid-'70s. This came right in the middle, and the Grease Band's collaborative effort, "Jesse James," could be mistaken for Doug Yule singing Lou Reed's "Train Comin' Round the Bend." It's got that chug-a-lug subdued rock sound. With Henry McCullough's Wings connection, The Grease Band gets a touch of the Beatles' guilt-by-association mystique. As intriguing and wonderful as this album is, had Joe Cocker guested on bassist Alan Spenner's "Down Home Mama" or had Marianne Faithfull taken on the traditional "To the Lord," there would have been that something extra, that intangible that makes records so very special. On their own, they sound like a cousin to the Band, and even cover Dylan on the follow-up to this Shelter Records debut. Recorded in London, it is vintage stuff, and 100 years from its making will no doubt be respected for the historic and studious record that it is. For the time The Grease Band was released, though, the four players barely looking up from the album cover appear like backing musicians, and that lack of identity is what separates this very good music from music that is considered great. Five Henry McCullough originals, ...

HOLY CRAP....this band is BRILLIANT, if you like OPETH, DIVISION BY ZERO..... TOTALLY brings their sound to mind, same type of talent, feel and aggression, into this, their first full lenght album...This is simply massive for a debut. Excellent production and beautiful, haunting and powerful all at the same time....10/10 POSSIBLE POINTS....The EP „Out of Body Experience” got much attention from the progressive metal society in Poland. Now the band strikes back with their debut album “Tyranny of Therapy”. The album has been recorded under the wary eyes of Tomek Zalewski in studio ZED in Olkusz, The cover and booklet have been designed by the famous Mattias Noren, who worked among others with bands like Andromeda, Ayreon or Kamelot. As the Division by Zero musicians say their debut album reflects the psychic and emotional sphere of human nature, of a man who found him self in an extremely hopeless situation. Lyrical side of the record is emphasized with the heavy guitar riffs which come along with the dark and moody, symphonic hues. The whole is fulfilled with the finesse of the rhythm section. You’re invited and welcome to take part in the Division by Zero therapy!!! This new killer album shall make very significant debut in the progressive metal genre not only in Poland!!! Check out the news section and follow the tour dates. See the band in concert and be sure to get their new exciting release!!!Band Biography---------Division by Zero is a band created by artists who treat music as a constant part of their lives. The band’s foundation was a process rich in twists and turns. Before starting ...
