Об альбоме: Дебютый релиз очень интересного коллектива. Альбом настолько разнообразен в музыкальном плане, что сложно описать конкретную жанровую принадлежность, исполняемой этими ребятами музыки вцелом. Тут и нео и фьюжн и психоделия. Короче, рекомендуется широкому кругу любителей прога.

more info

The Red Zen is an instrumental quartet from Italy. Imagine a fusion album recorded by a progressive rock band. While their label tries to position them as a band in the style of Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return To Forever, they really are more of a straight ahead prog band. Guitarist Ettore Salati was formerly with The Watch. While he doesn't sound like Steve Hackett here, he certainly plays with far more distortion than you are likely to ever hear from a fusion guitarist. No - this isn't really fusion. Its really well done instrumental prog rock with some killer soloing coming from keyboards and guitar. This owes more to Djam Karet or Helmet Of Gnats than any fusion band I can think of. Highly recommended.

It's 54 minutes of pure instrumental fusion progressive rock, played with passion and amusement. Kicking rhythm section, powerful guitars and rich keyboards for tunes influenced by Return to Forever, Ozric Tentacles, Weather Report, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake Palmer, Yellowjackets, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Genesis, Planet X, Tribal Tech, King Crimson, OSI, Colosseum and many others.
So the original compositions cross the border from power fusion to prog rock, adding a touch of jazz and psychedelia!
Hard prog fans and jazz-rock lovers will have much good time listening to Void, which has to be considered almost like a live album, due to its power and immediacy...
and being so, you can imagine what a live show by The RedZen is!
