Again, a noticeable departure from his work as the timekeeper in Journey, Steve Smith's Vital Information project is straight-ahead, no-frills fusion from the '80s. Orion pretty much stays within the formula that made Vital Information's debut album so catchy and accessible: slick production and smooth musicianship atop a sheer layer of gloss for sonic measure. Smith holds it down in the background while the band plays through melodies that wouldn't be out of place on records à la their contemporaries. Not the band's strongest effort, but definitely not their weakest either. ~ Rob Theakston Steve Smith Orion Songs | 1. | Future Primitive |

Recorded at Neverland Studio, Marin County, California on October 4-17, 1999.
This tenth recording from the now legendary quartet reminds listeners that, while smooth jazz often gets better press, there are still fans of honest to God inventive electric fusion who will eat up this type of powerfully rocking and energetic ...

Although Latin percussionists (including Mongo Santamaria) are utilized on this set (a RCA album reissued in 1998 as a Koch CD), most of the selections certainly do not sound like they came from a Tito Puente record. For a change of pace, Puente is heard leading a fairly straight-ahead big band which includes among ...
| | Ether Net More Strange Bruises CD (2002)
Orion
$11.39
ETHER NETRobert Cherry: voice, guitarDavid Mooser: BassBrent Gemmill: DrumsKen Leonard: KeyboardsSome bruises come after a short, sharp blow. Others creep up on you, the result of continuous pressure, applied so slowly that you never even feel the pain-you only see the mark on the skin and wonder what happened. On its third album, "More Strange Bruises," Ether Net inflicts bruises both ways: sometimes with impact, sometimes by building atmospheres that creep up on you. It's an approach the group has perfected since vocalist-guitarist Robert Cherry and bassist David Mooser first began collaborating in 1993. In 2001, drummer Brent Gemmill joined the band, and Ken Leonard, Ether Net's longtime strings and keys arranger, took a more central role in the proceedings. Together, they form an unyielding musical coalition that spans as much musical space as its members span geography. Cherry and keyboardist Leonard are the Americans in the band, both born in New York state, and currently residing in Cleveland and New Orleans, respectively; Mooser is Swiss; and Gemmill is a New Zealander. Ether Net's sound not only reflects the member's far-away influences, it also brings them to heel. The result is a disc of dueling extremes. Over the course of eight songs, produced by Don Depew (Guided By Voices, Cobra Verde, New Bomb Turks), "More Strange Bruises" plays a tug of love and war between pop hooks and random noise; between lilting guitars and incessant rhythms; between "real" feelings and the feeling that you have none. On straight-ahead blows such as "Disco Crush," "Skyscraper Soul" and "The Exit Song," the quartet aims right for the head and body. Guitars kerrang; rhythms bash relentlessly; and words fall over one another like dominos: "You'll never lose your best friend. She takes up all your time and plays it back again. Compress, distort, delay-affects your actions. It won't feel real until it fills your ears with glue." ("The Exit Song") But Ether Net also knows that bruises aren't always so straightforward. Sometimes they occur in unexpected ways, like the impressions left by "Medical Waste," "Wildebeest" and "Ghosts.""Ghosts" appears with drums pounding in circular motion and a distant but oncoming synth line. It's a lover's lament that, while ...
