Magic Machine

[Machine Translation] This is the second full-length album by this superb technical progressive band from the U.S.A., led by the prodigious composer/multi-instrumentalist Zach Cummins. The album was produced by Jonas Reingold (Flower Kings, etc.) and features guest appearances by Reune Stolt (Flower Kings) and Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), and also features members of ANIMALS AS A LEADER, an up-and-coming technical band from the US. This is a powerful work. The music, which makes heavy use of irregular time signatures but approaches on a grand scale, has a freshness and originality that could be described as a reinterpretation of UK music with a post-genteel sensibility. An astonishing masterpiece that will overwhelm you with Cummins' unfathomable talent! Commentary included.

アメリカ出身、天才的作曲家/マルチ・プレイヤー、ザック・カミンズを中心とした、超絶テクニカル・プログレッシヴ・バンドのセカンド・フル・アルバム。ファーストに続きフラワー・キングス他のヨナス・レインゴールドがプロデュース、ロイネ・ストルト (フラワー・キングス)、ジョーダン・ルーデス (ドリーム・シアター)をゲストに迎える他、米テクニカル系の新鋭、ANIMALS AS A LEADERのメンバー等の腕利きを揃えた強力作。変拍子を多用しながらも壮大なスケールで迫る楽曲はジェント以降の感覚によるUKの再解釈とでもいうべき鮮烈な事項と斬新さを持つ。カミンズの底知れない才能に圧倒される驚愕の傑作! 解説付。
