Since the 1970's John McLaughlin's long career has always taken mysical turns, from the Mahavishnu Orchestra to Shakti. Here on "Industrial Zen", McLaughlin turns his well honed skills to Jazz fusion. He is joined by many names that brought power-house jazz fusion to the frontline during the '90's, including Bill Evans, Gary Husband, Mark Mondesir, Vinnie Colauta and Dennis Chambers as well as Texas guitar legend Eric Johnson.

Widely recognized as one of the most innovative and influential guitar players since the 1960s, John McLaughlin has forged a musical path that has seen him flirt with everything from hard rock to world music. A fusion player in the true sense of the word, McLaughlin continued his progressive stylistic synthesis on 2006's INDUSTRIAL ZEN. While the guitarist is also known for his meditative work (especially his experiments with Indian music), INDUSTRIAL ZEN is something of a return to the jazz fusion that marked McLaughlin's work with Miles Davis and his own group the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Drummer Dennis Chambers, saxophonist Bill Evans, and guitar virtuoso Eric Johnson, among others, are on hand to lend sparks to the icon's six-string wizardry.

Personnel: John McLaughlin (vocals, guitar, fretless guitar, programming, drum programming); Shankar Mahadevan (vocals); Eric Johnson (guitar); Ada Rovatti, Bill Evans (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Gary Husband (keyboards, drums); Otmaro Ruíz (synthesizer); Hadrien Feraud, Tony Gray, Matthew Garrison (bass guitar); Mark Mondasir, Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta (drums); Zakir Hussain (tabla); Marcus Wippersberg (drum programming).

Down Beat (p.92) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "McLaughlin is inspired, creating dense vamps in indecipherable odd-metered rhythms that his coterie of drummers and bassists navigate with grace."
JazzTimes (pp.68-69) - "[S]onically ambitious. INDUSTRIAL ZEN is a complex fusion outing with a rotating cast of virtuoso players."

3 stars One big long technical exercise
The last reviewer absolutely nailed the sound and feel of this album. I, too, appreciate the talent involved here, but honestly, John McLaughlin hasn't done anything really "musical" in ages. After awhile, constant soloing with little or no melodic change gets downright boring. Not my cup of tea.

5 stars John McLaughlin Still Has The Magic Touch
Released in the US in August 2006, “Industrial Zen” is the latest addition to the John McLaughlin catalog. It is arguably his best work in quite a while. John brings some old friends on board, as well as incorporating new talent for this project. The rhythm is held together by Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta and Gary Husband as well as Zekir Hussein on tabla. Maintaining the bottom line is the fluid Matthew Garrison and an amazing young newcomer, Hadrien Feraud. With their saxophones, Bill Evans and Ada Rovatti bring lyrical fire to the mix. John expands the sonic palette by combining regular guitar sounds with the synth guitar. Shanker Mahadevan’s haunting vocals bring an enjoyable “World Music” quality to two of the tracks. All in all, I was very pleased by this CD. The songs encompass moods from fiery passion to thoughtful introspection (but the emphasis is certainly on the fire!). This CD ranks in my top 5 for the year 2006.

1 star Yawn!
Not only am I bug admirer of McLaughlin, but also of contributors: Bill Evans, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Dennis Chambers; yet this offering is amazingly dull. The songs are about as unmemorable as possible and a major sin exists: drum programming and digital keyboard sequencing on a jazz record! It's the sequencing and programming that takes any improvisational life out of an already lifeless project. There isn't even a guitar solo worth mentioning by one of the greatest guitarists in history. I just don't understand how musicians of such renown could produce such a lame collection.

5 stars This album will send shivers down your spine
John McLaughlin, always at the leading edge of jazz, breaks new ground with this album. One of the tracks that will send shivers down the spine of any fan of his Mahavishnu days is track two "New Blues Old Bruise" and this is my favorite so far. From the purist of opening notes it soars in a beautiful and melodic way in a contemporary style that blends synthesized guitar with power backing from his group - better than he has ever done before. This and the rest of the album are pure pleasure to listen to. John McLaughlin and the other musicians on this album are to be commended for their playing. In summary: First class and refreshing to listen to.

Industrial Zen music CDs

PAUL DESLAURIERS SEES RED!!! Ripping Into Red, the long awaited new album from guitarist and singer-songwriter Paul Deslauriers (pronounced “day-loree-ay”) is finally here! Built on muscular performances by his usual crew of Sam Harrisson on drums and Greg Morency on bass plus a few special guests, Paul treats us to 11 new songs, most of which were written by his own hand. He takes you on a trip through the different sounds that have colored his mind over the years, through old school rock into searing blues and beyond into the classical music of northern India.‘Yes Man”, the album’s opening track, hits you like a proverbial kick in the pants and the abuse continues through rockers like “Commander” and “Honest”, but be aware, this is not a monochrome, one-sided album. At times the electric guitar takes a back seat and you’re soothed by the sounds of Paul’s acoustic guitar and mellower vocals on songs like “I’m Born Again” and “Death Bed”. You’ll be seduced by his masterpiece “This State Of Grace” for it’s classical Indian song, the sitar and tabla; charmed by its mandolin and violin and conquered by Paul’s guitar prowess. Ripping Into Red also boasts a few covers that have been skillfully reworked. Heavy blues fans rejoice during his Led Zeppelin-esque take on Robert Johnson’s “Me And The Devil” and his version of the Beatles classic “Strawberry Fields Forever” is considered by many as being one of the best ever heard! He’s blown away many an audience with live performances of these songs, leaving people speechless with the intensity of his guitar solos and the emotional urgency of his singing.Recently, Editor in Chief of Guitar Player Magazine Michael Molenda had this to say about Paul: "Deslauriers really knows how to grab your ears from note one. On "Commander," his slippery, wild-ass riffs are underpinned with "yeahs" that drive the intro into your head like a velvet spike. Yum. He's also a gifted songwriter and vocalist, and his solos, especially the slide lines, are short, but thrilling!"With nearly two decades of experience in the music industry (Paul’s music career began in his early teens!) 5 albums under his belt and a list of fans that extends into Europe and the U.S.A., Paul Deslauriers is a man who has mastered his art and has embarked on his newest adventure yet, showing his rock colors and his true blues roots. He is part of Canada’s guitar ...
