10 words or less: Instrumental Guitar weirdness from one-man band

Elaboration: Philippe Ansari is a guitarist who uses basses, keyboards and 
drum machines to create some alien soundscapes. Upon pushing play I am 
reminded of early period Devo. The first 2 tunes are quirky, guitar-driven 
pieces of the Devo ilk sans vox. Track 3 is more Zappa-inspired with constant 
stops and changes. Track 4 is an excursion in rhythmless sound effects. Track 
5 is a bit of warped, pentatonic like madness. Track 6 sounds like an 
interesting 50s monster movie soundtrack. Track 7 is a short serene ambient, 
spacey piece. Track 8 sounds like something off King Crimson's Space Groove 
album sans lead guitar. Track 9 is a strong piece of instrumental ProgMetal 
with some weirdness thrown in for good measure. Track 10 is a rhythmic piece 
of electronica in odd time sigs. Track 11 is a menacing Trance groove like 
Richard Pinhas set to a techno drum beat. Track 12 is a short sequenced 
piece. Track 13 starts off with a rhythm like mid-period Killing Joke but 
then slips back into the Devo thing mixed with Steve Vai's Flexable but all 
the while retaining a feeling of uniqueness. This is perhaps the most 
mainstream progressive piece thus far in the album. The final track on the 
album is an ominous, ambient sound effects adventure. Mr. Ansari is all over 
the map on this album. If you like experimental music that knows no 
boundaries then this is for you. ~ L. Perez
