CeZZers - Elevation

[Bill]

CeZZers

Elevation

 

Tracklist:

1. Elevation (Intro)

2. Butterfly

3. Strange Noise

 

It's too bad Elevation is only three tracks long, it had the potential to be something special if it were another three or four songs in length.

 

As it is, "Elevation (Intro)" barely counts - it's odd and only 2-minutes long, hardly a track at all.

 

"Butterfly" is something very special, though. A sweet piece of morning progressive that manages to chill the listener even while it's grooving along. What I like about this one is that it is most definitely a progressive track but CeZZers puts forth some subtle layers, some nice melodies, making it creative and delightfully liberating progressive. The Gregorian-esque chants that play hypnotically in the background makes "Butterfly" as mystical as the actual musicianship does.

 

"Strange Noise" is the sample-heavy conclusion, filled with several news broadcasts about the occurrence of the title, getting the imagination working on behalf of the listener. Too bad CeZZers did not get inspired in the same way, though. After the novelty of the talky samples has worn off what is left is progressive that is pleasant but not very far off the already-beaten path of this particular style.

 

Still, with another handful of tracks on this one it would have been interesting to see what paths this producer would have traveled down, whether it would have been typical common-fare or more inspired creativity like the great "Butterfly." Besides, that cover art is pretty wicked, it feels pretty epic, not at all the type of intricate beauty you would expect adorning a slim offering of only two full-length tracks.

I share your thoughts Bill about these 3 tracks (well 2 and half ), Butterfly is really worth a listen.

I'll keep an eye on this project.
