Electrocution 250 - Mr Scruffen Mcfluff
High Quality Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4cCyvkZPOs&fmt=18
Heres Electrocution 250, a progressive/experimental/extreme instrumental rock/fusion/jazz band from Sweden. Peter Wildoer (TIME REQUIEM, DARKANE, SILVER SERAPH) (Drums), Todd Duane (Guitars and maybe, bass?), and Lale Larson (Keyboards) made this album... with a cartoonish and funny sound (it definitely has a humoristic tone), and its pretty much unique but at the same time it reminds some of the Looney Tunes frenzy themes. It was made in 2003 and so far it is their only album. For more information + free listening to one of their weird songs (Fletcher the Mouse, the funniest I think, lol) go there http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1877
Similar to: Spastic Ink, Artifex... hmm
The following two paragraphs concern the whole album, the last one is about this song.
What I liked about this album: Blend of styles, something different, rapid-rainbow laser coloured themes, enjoyable, some kind of virtuosity behind all this mess.
What I disliked about it: While it can be funny when listening to it for the first times, it gets boring in the long run due to the lack of deep ear perception pleasures, the appeal doesnt last long while the first impressions are were very positive to me. I first found it very heterogeneous, but now I kinda feel like its turning all around the same point. So yeah lets call that: fast-food music... it tastes good in your mouth, but it doesnt bring much afterward... thats why I have trouble qualifying it of progressive music, which I think is the extreme opposite of that, lol.
Mr Scruffen Mcfluff is more jazzy, less crazy, I prefer it. Every members of the band do a solo on their respective instrument at a given time in the song.
