This review "just missed" being featured in:
John Collinge's Progression Magazine
Another reviewer's words were chosen -- and why??

David Bagsby: Transphoria (CD, 52:33); Esotericity Music ESTCD5 Nine tracks running 1:22 to the 14:32 gem, “Where Reason Steps”, offer zany, spacedout, twistedly rockish, Zappaesque works of strong guitars, adept synthworks, decent percussion, and apt bass. Fans of guitardom will remember Vai’s Flex-able and Ron Thal’s The Adventures of Bumblefoot, each offering peppy, fun- rock, tongue-in-cheek, melodic-riffage, and general guitar abandon. There’s plenty of that early on here but Bagsby go much further creating fully augmented and orchestrated compositions with warped synth snippets and extended side-trips into extreme whacky- ville or vision-land. At times you may get that Neil Nappe/(July) flashback going. Bagsby even offers a very brief moments of manipulated male and female vox with lysergic flavorings. This guy has a plethora if interesting ideas -- a veritable smorgasbord of sonic treats. This is recommended lightheartedly fun trippy-good stuff. Enjoy a Tibbetts-ian acoustic interlude with IASOS synths or a piano/symphonic synth outro. You’ll folks rebelling against mainstream, bored-to-tears pop or a myriad of noodling progmetal whankfests need to take a little diversion in Bagsby’s world. This appears upfront to be a “homemade” production, CD graphix and all, yet the essential essence of great music is to be found track after track. Long live independent releases like this one! Slick job there, Bagsby! High recommendations. ~ John W. Patterson
