Puzzle not when 'psychedelic hidden jewelry', for a jeno trip to a place of wonder and magical things at the same time, what place we use it for rhyme: Fantasy.Philadelphia meets Pink Floyd ... Sounds weird? Yes, but it's also one of a handful of albums I own that deserves a four-star rating.
For a band that began with a serious Beatles fixation, 1969's "Puzzle".
As the band's third and final album, the project actually had an interesting, if problematic, history. Following the departure of keyboardist Michael Kaco to pursue a career with classical guitarist Linda Cohen (RIP), the remaining trio consisting of guitarist Craig Anderton, bassist Randy Monaco and drummer J. Kevin Lally packed for the UK where they recorded an acoustic album with producer Shel Talmy. Poppy Records executives hated the results and the recordings were immediately put off, leaving the trio to rework the material in New York with producer Ron Frangipane.
Dressed in a striking design by M.C. Escher (I wonder how much it cost to get the rights to the pictures), it seems that the album was conceived as a conceptual piece, although I must admit that I have no idea what it is
concept. (If you read German, the verbiage of the inner sleeve can provide a clue.) Whatever their intention, songs like the opener 'Earthfriend' and 'Kyrie' had a distinctive lisergic flavor. Adding Gregorian chants to 'Children's Prayer' and a few songs also added a pseudo-religious feel. Complete with elaborate orchestration, instrumental preludes, extended musical segue modes and a lot of electronic nods, that was about as far away from the band's previous top 40 orientation. Geez, 'Children's Prayer' even included a children's choir. In its place, material such as 'Earthfriend', 'Hide' and 'Tadpole' flowed in a thick and trippy stupor. This may sound like a stupid analogy, but prompted by Monaco's sycophants (he literally sounded stoned), strange weather signatures and production effects, weird synthesizers and some really weird lyrics (see Ocean's Daughter' and 'Whisper Play'), that's a fitting description. The whole other side, complete with sound effects, strips backwards and other effects made for a great experience with headphones. The band hasn't completely abandoned their talent for commercial material, with 'Just a Blur' (featured in three separate versions) and a title track that stands as appealing as anything on their first or second releases. Last comment - watching it for almost 50 minutes, this was one long album.
"Puzzle" playlist:
(page 1)
1.) Earthfriend Prelude (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)
- rating 2:49: ** stars Heavily orchestrated instrumental opener 'Earthfriend Prelude' was certainly pleasant, but in the end it turned out to be little more than atmospheric background music for a fantasy film.
2.) Earthfriend (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 6:17 rating: ** stars
While it was hard to tell where the prelude ended and the main theme began, the ballad 'Earthfriend' sounded like it was bathed in a heavy dose of foxergic acid. Randy Monaco's bass line was amazing, and the orchestral arrangement got crazier and crazier as it went on.
3.) Just a Blur (Version 1) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:53 rating: * stars
'Just a Blur (Version 1)' was a pretty acoustic fragment of the song. Too bad it was so short.
4.) Hiding (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - rating
3:15 a.m.: ** stars Another beautiful, sour performance. Maybe a little too fey for the good of the band. This time, J. Kevin Lally's drums gave the secret ingredient to the song.
5.) Just a Blur (Version 2) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:51 rating: * stars
A pretty acoustic guitar powered segment that really wasn't much different from the previous segment.
6.) Tadpole (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 2:25 rating: ** stars
I'd die happy mastering Monaco's initial bass sample. 'Tadpole' was another cute ballad that was actually a little more commercial than the rest of the side.
7.) Kyrie (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -
rating 3:24: * stars Geez, for a moment I thought I slapped the electric plums "Mass In F Minor". So at this point why not throw in some Gregorian chants ? Very nice, although I have no idea what he's doing here.
8.) Ocean's Daughter (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -
3:24 rating: ** stars I'm not sure why I find this ballad so interesting. On the surface it seems quite mild and the lyrics are quite ILO-ish. Maybe Monaco's acoustic bass, or the sound effects buried in the orchestration...
2)
1.)
Volcano Prelude (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)
- rating 2:08: ** stars Page two opened with the same tricks - a short instrumental introduction; the main theme, and then a more conventional path. Just like 'Earthriend', 'Volcano' turned out to be a forgettable cinematic instrumentation - maybe something out of an Exorcist-style horror movie ?
2.) Volcano (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - rating
5:59: ** stars I'm not sure why I find this ballad so interesting. On the surface it seems quite
the mild and lyrics to 'Volcano' opened with some irritating guitar feedback effects, but quickly shifted to a more conventional tune.
3.) Whisper Play (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -
rating 3:00: * stars Well, the title was safe, and 'Whisper Play' offers another segment of Gregorian chants, along with lots of whispers and bizarre lyrical interludes.
4.) Bucket of Air (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)
- rating 9:37: ** stars With one of the album's strong melodies, 'Bucket of Air' offered a terrifying mix of Anderton's jangle rock guitar, Lally's wild drums and Monaco's melodic bass act. The middle part of the song recalled something Roger McGuinn and Byrds might have recorded if they had actually discovered psycedelia.
5.) Children's Prayer (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)
- rating 3:25: ** stars More Gregorian singing ... I think I've reached my limit at this point.
6.) Puzzle (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 3:08 rating: ** stars
After the last few tunes, it was nice to get back to a more conventional tune. Yes, another sour-soaked ballad, but at least it had a decent melody and Monaco's bass was great.
7.) Just a Blur (version 3) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)
- 0:51 rating: * stars And back to the opening tune...
The puzzle is the horse of a band too busy to be, overlooked, unavailable.
A blissful prize for one who takes adventures outside mainstream pop music. A place called Fantasia
Puzzle is probably one of the most underrated albums in rock history. Incognito sky, hidden in parallel reality, away from home, where people can live among angels (at least for a while).
Puzzle is not a typical 'psychedelic hidden gem', it is an unexpected journey to a place made of divine and magical things at the same time, a place we use to call: Fantasy.

Inkognito nebo, skriveno uoj stvarnosti, daleko od ku\u0107e, gdje ljudi mogu \u017eivjeti me\u0111u an\u0111elima.\r
Puzzle ne kada 'psihodeli\u010dni skriveni nakit', za jeno putovanje na mjesto \u010duda i \u010darobnih stvari u isto vrijeme, koje mjesto koje je koristimo za rimu: Fantazija.Philadelphia upoznaje Pink Floyd ... Zvu\u010di \u010dudno? Jest, ali to je tako\u0111er jedan od pregr\u0161t albuma koje posjedujem koji zaslu\u017euje ocjenu od \u010detiri zvjezdice.\r
Za bend koji je zapo\u010deo ozbiljnom fiksacijom Beatlesa, "Puzzle" iz 1969.\r
Kao tre\u0107i i posljednji album sastava, projekt je zapravo imao zanimljivu, ako problemati\u010dnu povijest. Nakon odlaska klavijaturista Michaela Kaca da nastavi karijeru s klasi\u010dnom gitaristicom Lindom Cohen (RIP), preostali trio koji \u010dine gitarist Craig Anderton, basist Randy Monaco i bubnjar J. Kevin Lally spakirali su se za Veliku Britaniju gdje su snimili akusti\u010dni album s producentom Shelom Talmyjem. Rukovoditelji Poppy Recordsa mrzili su rezultate i snimke su odmah odlo\u017eene, ostavljaju\u0107i trojac da preradi materijal u New Yorku s producentom Ronom Frangipaneom.\r
Odjeven u upe\u010datljiv dizajn M.C. Eschera (pitam se koliko je ko\u0161talo dobivanje prava na slike), \u010dini se da je album zami\u0161ljen kao konceptualni komad, iako moram priznati da nemam pojma koji je to\r
koncept. (Ako \u010ditate njema\u010dki, verbiage unutarnjeg rukava mo\u017ee pru\u017eiti trag.) Bez obzira na namjeru, pjesme poput otvara\u010da 'Earthfriend' i 'Kyrie' imale su prepoznatljiv lisergijski okus. Dodavanje gregorijanskih napjeva na 'Dje\u010dju molitvu' i nekoliko pjesama tako\u0111er je dodalo pseudoreligijski osje\u0107aj. Upotpunjena razra\u0111enom orkestracijom, instrumentalnim preludijama, pro\u0161irenim glazbenim segue na\u010dinima i puno elektroni\u010dkog klimanja glavom, to je bilo otprilike \u0161to dalje od ranije top 40 orijentacije benda. Geez, 'Dje\u010dja molitva' je \u010dak uklju\u010divala i dje\u010dji zbor. Na njegovom mjestu materijal kao \u0161to su 'Earthfriend', 'Hide' i 'Tadpole' tekao je u debelom i trippy stuporu. To mo\u017ee zvu\u010dati kao glupa analogija, ali potaknuta Monacovim ulizicama (doslovno je zvu\u010dao napu\u0161eno), \u010dudnim vremenskim potpisima i produkcijskim efektima, \u010dudnim sintesajzerskim to\u010dkicama i nekim doista \u010dudnim stihovima (pogledajte Oceanovu k\u0107er' i 'Whisper Play'), to je prikladan opis. Cijela druga strana, zajedno sa zvu\u010dnim efektima, trakama unatrag i drugim efektima napravljenim za veliko iskustvo sa slu\u0161alicama. Bend nije u potpunosti napustio svoj talent za komercijalni materijal, s pjesmom 'Just a Blur' (predstavljenom u tri zasebne verzije) i naslovnom pjesmom koja stoji privla\u010dno kao i bilo \u0161to na njihovim prvim ili drugim izdanjima. Posljednji komentar - gledaju\u0107i ga na gotovo 50 minuta, ovo je bio jedan dugi album.\r
Popis pjesama "Puzzle":\r
(strana 1)\r
1.) Earthfriend Prelude (instrumentalno) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- ocjena 2:49: ** zvijezde Jako orkestrirani instrumentalni otvara\u010d 'Earthfriend Prelude' svakako je bio ugodan, ali je na kraju ispao ne\u0161to vi\u0161e od atmosferske pozadinske glazbe za fantasy film.\r
2.) Earthfriend (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 6:17 ocjena: ** zvijezde\r
Dok je bilo te\u0161ko re\u0107i gdje je preludij zavr\u0161io i glavna tema po\u010dela, balada 'Earthfriend' zvu\u010dala je kao da je okupana te\u0161kom dozom lisergi\u010dne kiseline. Bas linija Randyja Monaca bila je nevjerojatna, a orkestralni aran\u017eman postao je lu\u0111i i lu\u0111i kako je prolazio.\r
3.) Just a Blur (Verzija 1) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:53 ocjena: * zvijezde\r
'Just a Blur (Verzija 1)' bio je prili\u010dno akusti\u010dni fragment pjesme. \u0160teta \u0161to je bilo tako kratko.\r
4.) Skrivanje (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - ocjena\r
3:15: ** zvijezde Jo\u0161 jedna lijepa, kisela izvedba. Mo\u017eda malo previ\u0161e fey za dobrobit benda. Ovaj put bubnjevi J. Kevina Lallyja dali su tajni sastojak pjesme.\r
5.) Just a Blur (Verzija 2) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:51 ocjena: * zvijezde\r
Prili\u010dno akusti\u010dna gitara powered segment koji stvarno nije bio mnogo druga\u010diji od prethodnog segmenta.\r
6.) Punoglavac (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 2:25 ocjena: ** zvijezde\r
Umro bih sretan svladavaju\u0107i Monacov po\u010detni bas uzorak. 'Punoglavac' je bila jo\u0161 jedna slatka balada koja je zapravo bila malo komercijalnija od ostatka bo\u010dne.\r
7.) Kyrie (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r
ocjena 3:24: * zvijezde Geez, na trenutak sam pomislio da sam o\u0161amario elektri\u010dne \u0161ljive "Mass In F Minor". Dakle , u ovom trenutku za\u0161to ne baciti u neke gregorijanske napjeve ? Vrlo lijepo, iako nemam pojma \u0161to radi ovdje.\r
8.) Oceanova k\u0107i (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r
3:24 ocjena: ** zvijezde Nisam siguran za\u0161to mi je ova balada tako zanimljiva. Na povr\u0161ini se \u010dini prili\u010dno blag i stihovi su prili\u010dno MOR-ish. Mo\u017eda je Monacov akusti\u010dni bas, ili zvu\u010dni efekti zakopani u orkestraciji ...\r
2)\r
1.)\r
Volcano Prelude (instrumentalno) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- ocjena 2:08: ** zvijezde Strana dva otvorila se istim trikovima - kratkim instrumentalnim uvodom; glavnu temu, a zatim konvencionalniju stazu. Ba\u0161 kao i 'Earthriend', 'Volcano' je ispao zaboravljiva filmska instrumentacija - mo\u017eda ne\u0161to iz horor filma u stilu Egzorcista ?\r
2.) Vulkan (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - ocjena\r
5:59: ** zvijezde Nisam siguran za\u0161to mi je ova balada tako zanimljiva. Na povr\u0161ini se \u010dini prili\u010dno\r
blag i stihovi 'Volcano' otvorili su se s nekim iritantnim povratnim efektima gitare, ali brzo su se prebacili u konvencionalniju melodiju.\r
3.) Whisper Play (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r
ocjena 3:00: * zvijezde Pa, naslov je bio siguran, a 'Whisper Play' nudi jo\u0161 jedan segment gregorijanskih napjeva, zajedno s puno \u0161aptanja i bizarnog lirskog interludija.\r
4.) Bucket of Air (instrumentalno) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- ocjena 9:37: ** zvijezde Uz jednu od jakih melodija albuma, 'Bucket of Air' ponudio je zastra\u0161uju\u0107u mje\u0161avinu Andertonove jangle rock gitare, Lallynih divljih bubnjeva i Monacovog melodi\u010dnog bas-djela. Srednji dio pjesme prisjetio se ne\u010dega \u0161to su Roger McGuinn i Byrds mo\u017eda snimili da su doista otkrili psycedeliju.\r
5.) Dje\u010dja molitva (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- ocjena 3:25: ** zvijezde Vi\u0161e gregorijanskog pjevanja ... Mislim da sam dostigao svoj limit u ovom trenutku.\r
6.) Puzzle (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 3:08 ocjena: ** zvijezde\r
Nakon posljednjih nekoliko melodija, bilo je lijepo vratiti se konvencionalnijoj melodiji. Da, jo\u0161 jedna kiselo natopljena balada, ali barem je imala pristojnu melodiju i Monacov bas je bio sjajan.\r
7.) Samo mrlja (verzija 3) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- 0:51 ocjena: * zvijezde I natrag na uvodnu melodiju ...\r
\r

Jest, ali to je tako\u0111er jedan od pregr\u0161t albuma koje posjedujem koji zaslu\u017euje ocjenu od \u010detiri zvjezdice.\r\nZa bend koji je zapo\u010deo ozbiljnom fiksacijom Beatlesa, \"Puzzle\" iz 1969.\r\nKao tre\u0107i i posljednji album sastava, projekt je zapravo imao zanimljivu, ako problemati\u010dnu povijest. Nakon odlaska klavijaturista Michaela Kaca da nastavi karijeru s klasi\u010dnom gitaristicom Lindom Cohen (RIP), preostali trio koji \u010dine gitarist Craig Anderton, basist Randy Monaco i bubnjar J. Kevin Lally spakirali su se za Veliku Britaniju gdje su snimili akusti\u010dni album s producentom Shelom Talmyjem. Rukovoditelji Poppy Recordsa mrzili su rezultate i snimke su odmah odlo\u017eene, ostavljaju\u0107i trojac da preradi materijal u New Yorku s producentom Ronom Frangipaneom.\r\nOdjeven u upe\u010datljiv dizajn M.C. Eschera (pitam se koliko je ko\u0161talo dobivanje prava na slike), \u010dini se da je album zami\u0161ljen kao konceptualni komad, iako moram priznati da nemam pojma koji je to\r\nkoncept. (Ako \u010ditate njema\u010dki, verbiage unutarnjeg rukava mo\u017ee pru\u017eiti trag.) Bez obzira na namjeru, pjesme poput otvara\u010da 'Earthfriend' i 'Kyrie' imale su prepoznatljiv lisergijski okus. Dodavanje gregorijanskih napjeva na 'Dje\u010dju molitvu' i nekoliko pjesama tako\u0111er je dodalo pseudoreligijski osje\u0107aj. Upotpunjena razra\u0111enom orkestracijom, instrumentalnim preludijama, pro\u0161irenim glazbenim segue na\u010dinima i puno elektroni\u010dkog klimanja glavom, to je bilo otprilike \u0161to dalje od ranije top 40 orijentacije benda. Geez, 'Dje\u010dja molitva' je \u010dak uklju\u010divala i dje\u010dji zbor. Na njegovom mjestu materijal kao \u0161to su 'Earthfriend', 'Hide' i 'Tadpole' tekao je u debelom i trippy stuporu. To mo\u017ee zvu\u010dati kao glupa analogija, ali potaknuta Monacovim ulizicama (doslovno je zvu\u010dao napu\u0161eno), \u010dudnim vremenskim potpisima i produkcijskim efektima, \u010dudnim sintesajzerskim to\u010dkicama i nekim doista \u010dudnim stihovima (pogledajte Oceanovu k\u0107er' i 'Whisper Play'), to je prikladan opis. Cijela druga strana, zajedno sa zvu\u010dnim efektima, trakama unatrag i drugim efektima napravljenim za veliko iskustvo sa slu\u0161alicama. Bend nije u potpunosti napustio svoj talent za komercijalni materijal, s pjesmom 'Just a Blur' (predstavljenom u tri zasebne verzije) i naslovnom pjesmom koja stoji privla\u010dno kao i bilo \u0161to na njihovim prvim ili drugim izdanjima. Posljednji komentar - gledaju\u0107i ga na gotovo 50 minuta, ovo je bio jedan dugi album.\r\nPopis pjesama \"Puzzle\":\r\n(strana 1)\r\n1.) Earthfriend Prelude (instrumentalno) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- ocjena 2:49: ** zvijezde Jako orkestrirani instrumentalni otvara\u010d 'Earthfriend Prelude' svakako je bio ugodan, ali je na kraju ispao ne\u0161to vi\u0161e od atmosferske pozadinske glazbe za fantasy film.\r\n2.) Earthfriend (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 6:17 ocjena: **** zvijezde\r\nDok je bilo te\u0161ko re\u0107i gdje je preludij zavr\u0161io i glavna tema po\u010dela, balada 'Earthfriend' zvu\u010dala je kao da je okupana te\u0161kom dozom lisergi\u010dne kiseline. Bas linija Randyja Monaca bila je nevjerojatna, a orkestralni aran\u017eman postao je lu\u0111i i lu\u0111i kako je prolazio.\r\n3.) Just a Blur (Verzija 1) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:53 ocjena: *** zvijezde\r\n'Just a Blur (Verzija 1)' bio je prili\u010dno akusti\u010dni fragment pjesme. \u0160teta \u0161to je bilo tako kratko.\r\n4.) Skrivanje (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - ocjena\r\n3:15: **** zvijezde Jo\u0161 jedna lijepa, kisela izvedba. Mo\u017eda malo previ\u0161e fey za dobrobit benda. Ovaj put bubnjevi J. Kevina Lallyja dali su tajni sastojak pjesme.\r\n5.) Just a Blur (Verzija 2) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:51 ocjena: *** zvijezde\r\nPrili\u010dno akusti\u010dna gitara powered segment koji stvarno nije bio mnogo druga\u010diji od prethodnog segmenta.\r\n6.) Punoglavac (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 2:25 ocjena: **** zvijezde\r\nUmro bih sretan svladavaju\u0107i Monacov po\u010detni bas uzorak. 'Punoglavac' je bila jo\u0161 jedna slatka balada koja je zapravo bila malo komercijalnija od ostatka bo\u010dne.\r\n7.) Kyrie (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r\nocjena 3:24: *** zvijezde Geez, na trenutak sam pomislio da sam o\u0161amario elektri\u010dne \u0161ljive \"Mass In F Minor\". Dakle , u ovom trenutku za\u0161to ne baciti u neke gregorijanske napjeve ? Vrlo lijepo, iako nemam pojma \u0161to radi ovdje.\r\n8.) Oceanova k\u0107i (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r\n3:24 ocjena: **** zvijezde Nisam siguran za\u0161to mi je ova balada tako zanimljiva. Na povr\u0161ini se \u010dini prili\u010dno blag i stihovi su prili\u010dno MOR-ish.

Kevin Lally)\r\n- ocjena 2:08: ** zvijezde Strana dva otvorila se istim trikovima - kratkim instrumentalnim uvodom; glavnu temu, a zatim konvencionalniju stazu. Ba\u0161 kao i 'Earthriend', 'Volcano' je ispao zaboravljiva filmska instrumentacija - mo\u017eda ne\u0161to iz horor filma u stilu Egzorcista ?\r\n2.) Vulkan (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - ocjena\r\n5:59: **** zvijezde Nisam siguran za\u0161to mi je ova balada tako zanimljiva. Na povr\u0161ini se \u010dini prili\u010dno\r\nblag i stihovi 'Volcano' otvorili su se s nekim iritantnim povratnim efektima gitare, ali brzo su se prebacili u konvencionalniju melodiju.\r\n3.) Whisper Play (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r\nocjena 3:00: *** zvijezde Pa, naslov je bio siguran, a 'Whisper Play' nudi jo\u0161 jedan segment gregorijanskih napjeva, zajedno s puno \u0161aptanja i bizarnog lirskog interludija.\r\n4.) Bucket of Air (instrumentalno) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- ocjena 9:37: **** zvijezde Uz jednu od jakih melodija albuma, 'Bucket of Air' ponudio je zastra\u0161uju\u0107u mje\u0161avinu Andertonove jangle rock gitare, Lallynih divljih bubnjeva i Monacovog melodi\u010dnog bas-djela. Srednji dio pjesme prisjetio se ne\u010dega \u0161to su Roger McGuinn i Byrds mo\u017eda snimili da su doista otkrili psycedeliju.\r\n5.) Dje\u010dja molitva (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J.

Kevin Lally) - 3:08 ocjena: **** zvijezde\r\nNakon posljednjih nekoliko melodija, bilo je lijepo vratiti se konvencionalnijoj melodiji. Da, jo\u0161 jedna kiselo natopljena balada, ali barem je imala pristojnu melodiju i Monacov bas je bio sjajan.\r\n7.) Samo mrlja (verzija 3) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J.

Cela semble bizarre? Oui, mais c\u2019est aussi l\u2019un des rares albums que je poss\u00e8de qui m\u00e9rite une note de quatre \u00e9toiles.\r
Pour un groupe qui a commenc\u00e9 avec une fixation s\u00e9rieuse des Beatles, \u00ab\u00a0Puzzle\u00a0\u00bb de 1969.\r
En tant que troisi\u00e8me et dernier album du groupe, le projet avait en fait une histoire int\u00e9ressante, bien que probl\u00e9matique. Apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9part du clavi\u00e9riste Michael Kaco pour poursuivre une carri\u00e8re avec la guitariste classique Linda Cohen (RIP), le trio restant compos\u00e9 du guitariste Craig Anderton, du bassiste Randy Monaco et du batteur J. Kevin Lally a fait ses valises pour le Royaume-Uni o\u00f9 ils ont enregistr\u00e9 un album acoustique avec le producteur Shel Talmy. Les dirigeants de Poppy Records d\u00e9testaient les r\u00e9sultats et les enregistrements ont \u00e9t\u00e9 imm\u00e9diatement report\u00e9s, laissant le trio retravailler le mat\u00e9riel \u00e0 New York avec le producteur Ron Frangipane.\r
V\u00eatu d\u2019un design frappant de M.C. Escher (je me demande combien il en a co\u00fbt\u00e9 pour obtenir les droits sur les images), il semble que l\u2019album ait \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7u comme une pi\u00e8ce conceptuelle, m\u00eame si je dois admettre que je n\u2019ai aucune id\u00e9e de ce que c\u2019est\r
concept. (Si vous lisez l\u2019allemand, le verbiage de la manche int\u00e9rieure peut fournir un indice.) Quelle que soit leur intention, des chansons comme l\u2019ouvreur \u00ab\u00a0Earthfriend\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0Kyrie\u00a0\u00bb avaient une saveur lisergique distinctive. L\u2019ajout de chants gr\u00e9goriens \u00e0 \u00ab\u00a0Pri\u00e8re des enfants\u00a0\u00bb et de quelques chansons a \u00e9galement ajout\u00e9 une sensation pseudo-religieuse. Complet avec une orchestration \u00e9labor\u00e9e, des pr\u00e9ludes instrumentaux, des modes de s\u00e9quence musicale \u00e9tendus et beaucoup de clins d\u2019t\u00eate \u00e9lectroniques, c\u2019\u00e9tait \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s aussi loin de l\u2019orientation pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente du groupe dans le top 40. Geez, \u00ab\u00a0Pri\u00e8re des enfants\u00a0\u00bb comprenait m\u00eame une chorale d\u2019enfants. \u00c0 sa place, des mat\u00e9riaux tels que \u00ab\u00a0Earthfriend\u00a0\u00bb, \u00ab\u00a0Hide\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0Tadpole\u00a0\u00bb coulaient dans une stupeur \u00e9paisse et trippante. Cela peut sembler une analogie stupide, mais incit\u00e9 par les flagorneurs de Monaco (il avait litt\u00e9ralement l\u2019air lapid\u00e9), des signatures m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques \u00e9tranges et des effets de production, des synth\u00e9tiseurs \u00e9tranges et des paroles vraiment \u00e9tranges (voir Ocean\u2019s Daughter' et 'Whisper Play'), c\u2019est une description appropri\u00e9e. L\u2019autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, complet avec des effets sonores, des bandes vers l\u2019arri\u00e8re et d\u2019autres effets fait pour une grande exp\u00e9rience avec des \u00e9couteurs. Le groupe n\u2019a pas compl\u00e8tement abandonn\u00e9 son talent pour le mat\u00e9riel commercial, avec 'Just a Blur' (pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 dans trois versions distinctes) et une chanson-titre qui est aussi attrayante que n\u2019importe quoi sur leurs premi\u00e8re ou deuxi\u00e8me sorties. Dernier commentaire - en le regardant pendant pr\u00e8s de 50 minutes, c\u2019\u00e9tait un long album.\r
Liste de lecture \u00ab\u00a0Puzzle\u00a0\u00bb:\r
(page 1)\r
1.) Earthfriend Prelude (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- note 2:49: ** \u00e9toiles L\u2019ouvreur instrumental fortement orchestr\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Earthfriend Prelude\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9tait certainement agr\u00e9able, mais \u00e0 la fin, il s\u2019est av\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00eatre un peu plus que de la musique de fond atmosph\u00e9rique pour un film fantastique.\r
2.) Earthfriend (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 6:17 note: ** \u00e9toiles\r
Alors qu\u2019il \u00e9tait difficile de dire o\u00f9 le pr\u00e9lude s\u2019est termin\u00e9 et le th\u00e8me principal a commenc\u00e9, la ballade \u00ab\u00a0Earthfriend\u00a0\u00bb sonnait comme si elle \u00e9tait baign\u00e9e dans une forte dose d\u2019acide foxergique. La ligne de basse de Randy Monaco \u00e9tait incroyable, et l\u2019arrangement orchestral est devenu de plus en plus fou au fur et \u00e0 mesure.\r
3.) Just a Blur (Version 1) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:53 note: * \u00e9toiles\r
\u00ab\u00a0Just a Blur (Version 1)\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9tait un fragment assez acoustique de la chanson. Dommage que ce soit si court.\r
4.) Cacher (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - note\r
3:15 a.m.: ** \u00e9toiles Une autre belle, performance aigre. Peut-\u00eatre un peu trop fey pour le bien du groupe. Cette fois, la batterie de J. Kevin Lally a donn\u00e9 l\u2019ingr\u00e9dient secret \u00e0 la chanson.\r
5.) Just a Blur (Version 2) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:51 note: * \u00e9toiles\r
Un segment assez acoustique aliment\u00e9 par la guitare qui n\u2019\u00e9tait vraiment pas tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent du segment pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent.\r
6.) T\u00eatard (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 2:25 note: ** \u00e9toiles\r
Je mourrais heureux de ma\u00eetriser l\u2019\u00e9chantillon de basse initial de Monaco. \u00ab\u00a0Tadpole\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9tait une autre ballade mignonne qui \u00e9tait en fait un peu plus commerciale que le reste du c\u00f4t\u00e9.\r
7.) Kyrie (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r
note 3:24: * \u00e9toiles Geez, pendant un moment, j\u2019ai pens\u00e9 que j\u2019ai gifl\u00e9 les prunes \u00e9lectriques \u00ab\u00a0Mass In F Minor\u00a0\u00bb. Alors \u00e0 ce stade, pourquoi ne pas ajouter des chants gr\u00e9goriens ? Tr\u00e8s bien, m\u00eame si je n\u2019ai aucune id\u00e9e de ce qu\u2019il fait ici.\r
8.) La fille d\u2019Ocean (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r
3:24 note: ** \u00e9toiles Je ne sais pas pourquoi je trouve cette ballade si int\u00e9ressante. \u00c0 premi\u00e8re vue, cela semble assez doux et les paroles sont assez ILO-ish. Peut-\u00eatre la basse acoustique de Monaco, ou les effets sonores enfouis dans l\u2019orchestration...\r
2)\r
1.)\r
Volcano Prelude (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- note 2:08: ** \u00e9toiles Page deux ouverte avec les m\u00eames astuces - une courte introduction instrumentale; le th\u00e8me principal, puis un chemin plus conventionnel. Tout comme 'Earthriend', 'Volcano' s\u2019est av\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00eatre une instrumentation cin\u00e9matographique oubliable - peut-\u00eatre quelque chose d\u2019un film d\u2019horreur de style Exorciste?\r
2.) Volcan (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - note\r
5:59: ** \u00e9toiles Je ne sais pas pourquoi je trouve cette ballade si int\u00e9ressante. \u00c0 premi\u00e8re vue, il semble tout \u00e0 fait\r
le doux et les paroles de \u00ab\u00a0Volcano\u00a0\u00bb ouvert avec quelques effets de r\u00e9troaction de guitare irritants, mais rapidement d\u00e9plac\u00e9 \u00e0 un air plus conventionnel.\r
3.) Whisper Play (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r
note 3:00: * \u00e9toiles Eh bien, le titre \u00e9tait s\u00fbr, et 'Whisper Play' offre un autre segment de chants gr\u00e9goriens, avec beaucoup de chuchotements et d\u2019interm\u00e8des lyriques bizarres.\r
4.) Bucket of Air (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- note 9:37: ** \u00e9toiles Avec l\u2019une des m\u00e9lodies fortes de l\u2019album, \u00ab\u00a0Bucket of Air\u00a0\u00bb a offert un m\u00e9lange terrifiant de la guitare rock jangle d\u2019Anderton, de la batterie sauvage de Lally et de la basse m\u00e9lodique de Monaco. La partie centrale de la chanson rappelait quelque chose que Roger McGuinn et Byrds auraient pu enregistrer s\u2019ils avaient r\u00e9ellement d\u00e9couvert psycedelia.\r
5.) Pri\u00e8re des enfants (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- note 3:25: ** \u00e9toiles Plus de chant gr\u00e9gorien ... Je pense que j\u2019ai atteint ma limite \u00e0 ce stade.\r
6.) Puzzle (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 3:08 note: ** \u00e9toiles\r
Apr\u00e8s les derniers morceaux, c\u2019\u00e9tait agr\u00e9able de revenir \u00e0 un air plus conventionnel. Oui, une autre ballade aigre-tremp\u00e9e, mais au moins il avait une m\u00e9lodie d\u00e9cente et la basse de Monaco \u00e9tait super.\r
7.) Just a Blur (version 3) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- 0:51 note: * \u00e9toiles Et de retour \u00e0 la m\u00e9lodie d\u2019ouverture...\r

Cela semble bizarre? Oui, mais c\u2019est aussi l\u2019un des rares albums que je poss\u00e8de qui m\u00e9rite une note de quatre \u00e9toiles.\r\nPour un groupe qui a commenc\u00e9 avec une fixation s\u00e9rieuse des Beatles, \u00ab\u00a0Puzzle\u00a0\u00bb de 1969.\r\nEn tant que troisi\u00e8me et dernier album du groupe, le projet avait en fait une histoire int\u00e9ressante, bien que probl\u00e9matique. Apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9part du clavi\u00e9riste Michael Kaco pour poursuivre une carri\u00e8re avec la guitariste classique Linda Cohen (RIP), le trio restant compos\u00e9 du guitariste Craig Anderton, du bassiste Randy Monaco et du batteur J. Kevin Lally a fait ses valises pour le Royaume-Uni o\u00f9 ils ont enregistr\u00e9 un album acoustique avec le producteur Shel Talmy. Les dirigeants de Poppy Records d\u00e9testaient les r\u00e9sultats et les enregistrements ont \u00e9t\u00e9 imm\u00e9diatement report\u00e9s, laissant le trio retravailler le mat\u00e9riel \u00e0 New York avec le producteur Ron Frangipane.\r\nV\u00eatu d\u2019un design frappant de M.C. Escher (je me demande combien il en a co\u00fbt\u00e9 pour obtenir les droits sur les images), il semble que l\u2019album ait \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7u comme une pi\u00e8ce conceptuelle, m\u00eame si je dois admettre que je n\u2019ai aucune id\u00e9e de ce que c\u2019est\r\nconcept. (Si vous lisez l\u2019allemand, le verbiage de la manche int\u00e9rieure peut fournir un indice.) Quelle que soit leur intention, des chansons comme l\u2019ouvreur \u00ab\u00a0Earthfriend\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0Kyrie\u00a0\u00bb avaient une saveur lisergique distinctive. L\u2019ajout de chants gr\u00e9goriens \u00e0 \u00ab\u00a0Pri\u00e8re des enfants\u00a0\u00bb et de quelques chansons a \u00e9galement ajout\u00e9 une sensation pseudo-religieuse. Complet avec une orchestration \u00e9labor\u00e9e, des pr\u00e9ludes instrumentaux, des modes de s\u00e9quence musicale \u00e9tendus et beaucoup de clins d\u2019t\u00eate \u00e9lectroniques, c\u2019\u00e9tait \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s aussi loin de l\u2019orientation pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente du groupe dans le top 40. Geez, \u00ab\u00a0Pri\u00e8re des enfants\u00a0\u00bb comprenait m\u00eame une chorale d\u2019enfants. \u00c0 sa place, des mat\u00e9riaux tels que \u00ab\u00a0Earthfriend\u00a0\u00bb, \u00ab\u00a0Hide\u00a0\u00bb et \u00ab\u00a0Tadpole\u00a0\u00bb coulaient dans une stupeur \u00e9paisse et trippante. Cela peut sembler une analogie stupide, mais incit\u00e9 par les flagorneurs de Monaco (il avait litt\u00e9ralement l\u2019air lapid\u00e9), des signatures m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques \u00e9tranges et des effets de production, des synth\u00e9tiseurs \u00e9tranges et des paroles vraiment \u00e9tranges (voir Ocean\u2019s Daughter' et 'Whisper Play'), c\u2019est une description appropri\u00e9e. L\u2019autre c\u00f4t\u00e9, complet avec des effets sonores, des bandes vers l\u2019arri\u00e8re et d\u2019autres effets fait pour une grande exp\u00e9rience avec des \u00e9couteurs. Le groupe n\u2019a pas compl\u00e8tement abandonn\u00e9 son talent pour le mat\u00e9riel commercial, avec 'Just a Blur' (pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 dans trois versions distinctes) et une chanson-titre qui est aussi attrayante que n\u2019importe quoi sur leurs premi\u00e8re ou deuxi\u00e8me sorties. Dernier commentaire - en le regardant pendant pr\u00e8s de 50 minutes, c\u2019\u00e9tait un long album.\r\nListe de lecture \u00ab\u00a0Puzzle\u00a0\u00bb:\r\n(page 1)\r\n1.) Earthfriend Prelude (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- note 2:49: ** \u00e9toiles L\u2019ouvreur instrumental fortement orchestr\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0Earthfriend Prelude\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9tait certainement agr\u00e9able, mais \u00e0 la fin, il s\u2019est av\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00eatre un peu plus que de la musique de fond atmosph\u00e9rique pour un film fantastique.\r\n2.) Earthfriend (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 6:17 note: **** \u00e9toiles\r\nAlors qu\u2019il \u00e9tait difficile de dire o\u00f9 le pr\u00e9lude s\u2019est termin\u00e9 et le th\u00e8me principal a commenc\u00e9, la ballade \u00ab\u00a0Earthfriend\u00a0\u00bb sonnait comme si elle \u00e9tait baign\u00e9e dans une forte dose d\u2019acide foxergique. La ligne de basse de Randy Monaco \u00e9tait incroyable, et l\u2019arrangement orchestral est devenu de plus en plus fou au fur et \u00e0 mesure.\r\n3.) Just a Blur (Version 1) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:53 note: *** \u00e9toiles\r\n\u00ab\u00a0Just a Blur (Version 1)\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9tait un fragment assez acoustique de la chanson. Dommage que ce soit si court.\r\n4.) Cacher (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - note\r\n3:15 a.m.: **** \u00e9toiles Une autre belle, performance aigre. Peut-\u00eatre un peu trop fey pour le bien du groupe. Cette fois, la batterie de J. Kevin Lally a donn\u00e9 l\u2019ingr\u00e9dient secret \u00e0 la chanson.\r\n5.) Just a Blur (Version 2) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:51 note: *** \u00e9toiles\r\nUn segment assez acoustique aliment\u00e9 par la guitare qui n\u2019\u00e9tait vraiment pas tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rent du segment pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent.\r\n6.) T\u00eatard (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 2:25 note: **** \u00e9toiles\r\nJe mourrais heureux de ma\u00eetriser l\u2019\u00e9chantillon de basse initial de Monaco. \u00ab\u00a0Tadpole\u00a0\u00bb \u00e9tait une autre ballade mignonne qui \u00e9tait en fait un peu plus commerciale que le reste du c\u00f4t\u00e9.\r\n7.) Kyrie (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r\nnote 3:24: *** \u00e9toiles Geez, pendant un moment, j\u2019ai pens\u00e9 que j\u2019ai gifl\u00e9 les prunes \u00e9lectriques \u00ab\u00a0Mass In F Minor\u00a0\u00bb. Alors \u00e0 ce stade, pourquoi ne pas ajouter des chants gr\u00e9goriens ? Tr\u00e8s bien, m\u00eame si je n\u2019ai aucune id\u00e9e de ce qu\u2019il fait ici.\r\n8.) La fille d\u2019Ocean (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r\n3:24 note: **** \u00e9toiles Je ne sais pas pourquoi je trouve cette ballade si int\u00e9ressante. \u00c0 premi\u00e8re vue, cela semble assez doux et les paroles sont assez ILO-ish. Peut-\u00eatre la basse acoustique de Monaco, ou les effets sonores enfouis dans l\u2019orchestration...\r\n2)\r\n1.)\r\nVolcano Prelude (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- note 2:08: ** \u00e9toiles Page deux ouverte avec les m\u00eames astuces - une courte introduction instrumentale; le th\u00e8me principal, puis un chemin plus conventionnel. Tout comme 'Earthriend', 'Volcano' s\u2019est av\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00eatre une instrumentation cin\u00e9matographique oubliable - peut-\u00eatre quelque chose d\u2019un film d\u2019horreur de style Exorciste?\r\n2.) Volcan (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - note\r\n5:59: **** \u00e9toiles Je ne sais pas pourquoi je trouve cette ballade si int\u00e9ressante. \u00c0 premi\u00e8re vue, il semble tout \u00e0 fait\r\nle doux et les paroles de \u00ab\u00a0Volcano\u00a0\u00bb ouvert avec quelques effets de r\u00e9troaction de guitare irritants, mais rapidement d\u00e9plac\u00e9 \u00e0 un air plus conventionnel.\r\n3.) Whisper Play (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r\nnote 3:00: *** \u00e9toiles Eh bien, le titre \u00e9tait s\u00fbr, et 'Whisper Play' offre un autre segment de chants gr\u00e9goriens, avec beaucoup de chuchotements et d\u2019interm\u00e8des lyriques bizarres.\r\n4.) Bucket of Air (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- note 9:37: **** \u00e9toiles Avec l\u2019une des m\u00e9lodies fortes de l\u2019album, \u00ab\u00a0Bucket of Air\u00a0\u00bb a offert un m\u00e9lange terrifiant de la guitare rock jangle d\u2019Anderton, de la batterie sauvage de Lally et de la basse m\u00e9lodique de Monaco. La partie centrale de la chanson rappelait quelque chose que Roger McGuinn et Byrds auraient pu enregistrer s\u2019ils avaient r\u00e9ellement d\u00e9couvert psycedelia.\r\n5.) Pri\u00e8re des enfants (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- note 3:25: ** \u00e9toiles Plus de chant gr\u00e9gorien ... Je pense que j\u2019ai atteint ma limite \u00e0 ce stade.\r\n6.) Puzzle (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 3:08 note: **** \u00e9toiles\r\nApr\u00e8s les derniers morceaux, c\u2019\u00e9tait agr\u00e9able de revenir \u00e0 un air plus conventionnel. Oui, une autre ballade aigre-tremp\u00e9e, mais au moins il avait une m\u00e9lodie d\u00e9cente et la basse de Monaco \u00e9tait super.\r\n7.) Just a Blur (version 3) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J.

"Puzzle" playlist:\r
(page 1)\r
1.) Earthfriend Prelude (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- rating 2:49: ** stars Heavily orchestrated instrumental opener 'Earthfriend Prelude' was certainly pleasant, but in the end it turned out to be little more than atmospheric background music for a fantasy film.\r
2.) Earthfriend (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 6:17 rating: ** stars\r
While it was hard to tell where the prelude ended and the main theme began, the ballad 'Earthfriend' sounded like it was bathed in a heavy dose of foxergic acid. Randy Monaco's bass line was amazing, and the orchestral arrangement got crazier and crazier as it went on.\r
3.) Just a Blur (Version 1) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:53 rating: * stars\r
'Just a Blur (Version 1)' was a pretty acoustic fragment of the song. Too bad it was so short.\r
4.) Hiding (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - rating\r
3:15 a.m.: ** stars Another beautiful, sour performance. Maybe a little too fey for the good of the band. This time, J. Kevin Lally's drums gave the secret ingredient to the song.\r
5.) Just a Blur (Version 2) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 0:51 rating: * stars\r
A pretty acoustic guitar powered segment that really wasn't much different from the previous segment.\r
6.) Tadpole (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 2:25 rating: ** stars\r
I'd die happy mastering Monaco's initial bass sample. 'Tadpole' was another cute ballad that was actually a little more commercial than the rest of the side.\r
7.) Kyrie (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r
rating 3:24: * stars Geez, for a moment I thought I slapped the electric plums "Mass In F Minor". So at this point why not throw in some Gregorian chants ? Very nice, although I have no idea what he's doing here.\r
8.) Ocean's Daughter (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r
3:24 rating: ** stars I'm not sure why I find this ballad so interesting. On the surface it seems quite mild and the lyrics are quite ILO-ish. Maybe Monaco's acoustic bass, or the sound effects buried in the orchestration...\r
2)\r
1.)\r
Volcano Prelude (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- rating 2:08: ** stars Page two opened with the same tricks - a short instrumental introduction; the main theme, and then a more conventional path. Just like 'Earthriend', 'Volcano' turned out to be a forgettable cinematic instrumentation - maybe something out of an Exorcist-style horror movie ?\r
2.) Volcano (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - rating\r
5:59: ** stars I'm not sure why I find this ballad so interesting. On the surface it seems quite\r
the mild and lyrics to 'Volcano' opened with some irritating guitar feedback effects, but quickly shifted to a more conventional tune.\r
3.) Whisper Play (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r
rating 3:00: * stars Well, the title was safe, and 'Whisper Play' offers another segment of Gregorian chants, along with lots of whispers and bizarre lyrical interludes.\r
4.) Bucket of Air (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- rating 9:37: ** stars With one of the album's strong melodies, 'Bucket of Air' offered a terrifying mix of Anderton's jangle rock guitar, Lally's wild drums and Monaco's melodic bass act. The middle part of the song recalled something Roger McGuinn and Byrds might have recorded if they had actually discovered psycedelia.\r
5.) Children's Prayer (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- rating 3:25: ** stars More Gregorian singing ... I think I've reached my limit at this point.\r
6.) Puzzle (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 3:08 rating: ** stars\r
After the last few tunes, it was nice to get back to a more conventional tune. Yes, another sour-soaked ballad, but at least it had a decent melody and Monaco's bass was great.\r
7.) Just a Blur (version 3) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r
- 0:51 rating: * stars And back to the opening tune...\r

Kevin Lally) - 0:51 rating: *** stars\r\nA pretty acoustic guitar powered segment that really wasn't much different from the previous segment.\r\n6.) Tadpole (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 2:25 rating: **** stars\r\nI'd die happy mastering Monaco's initial bass sample. 'Tadpole' was another cute ballad that was actually a little more commercial than the rest of the side.\r\n7.) Kyrie (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r\nrating 3:24: *** stars Geez, for a moment I thought I slapped the electric plums \"Mass In F Minor\". So at this point why not throw in some Gregorian chants ? Very nice, although I have no idea what he's doing here.\r\n8.) Ocean's Daughter (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r\n3:24 rating: **** stars I'm not sure why I find this ballad so interesting. On the surface it seems quite mild and the lyrics are quite ILO-ish. Maybe Monaco's acoustic bass, or the sound effects buried in the orchestration...\r\n2)\r\n1.)\r\nVolcano Prelude (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- rating 2:08: ** stars Page two opened with the same tricks - a short instrumental introduction; the main theme, and then a more conventional path. Just like 'Earthriend', 'Volcano' turned out to be a forgettable cinematic instrumentation - maybe something out of an Exorcist-style horror movie ?\r\n2.) Volcano (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - rating\r\n5:59: **** stars I'm not sure why I find this ballad so interesting. On the surface it seems quite\r\nthe mild and lyrics to 'Volcano' opened with some irritating guitar feedback effects, but quickly shifted to a more conventional tune.\r\n3.) Whisper Play (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) -\r\nrating 3:00: *** stars Well, the title was safe, and 'Whisper Play' offers another segment of Gregorian chants, along with lots of whispers and bizarre lyrical interludes.\r\n4.) Bucket of Air (instrumental) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- rating 9:37: **** stars With one of the album's strong melodies, 'Bucket of Air' offered a terrifying mix of Anderton's jangle rock guitar, Lally's wild drums and Monaco's melodic bass act. The middle part of the song recalled something Roger McGuinn and Byrds might have recorded if they had actually discovered psycedelia.\r\n5.) Children's Prayer (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- rating 3:25: ** stars More Gregorian singing ... I think I've reached my limit at this point.\r\n6.) Puzzle (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally) - 3:08 rating: **** stars\r\nAfter the last few tunes, it was nice to get back to a more conventional tune. Yes, another sour-soaked ballad, but at least it had a decent melody and Monaco's bass was great.\r\n7.) Just a Blur (version 3) (Craig Anderton - Randy Monaco - J. Kevin Lally)\r\n- 0:51 rating: *** stars And back to the opening tune...\r\n\r\n\r\nThe puzzle is the horse of a band too busy to be, overlooked, unavailable.\r\nA blissful prize for one who takes adventures outside mainstream pop music. A place called Fantasia\r\nPuzzle is probably one of the most underrated albums in rock history. Incognito sky, hidden in parallel reality, away from home, where people can live among angels (at least for a while).\r\nPuzzle is not a typical 'psychedelic hidden gem', it is an unexpected journey to a place made of divine and magical things at the same time, a place we use to call: Fantasy.\r\n\r\nPuzzle is the testimony of a band destined to be ignored, overlooked, unavailable.\r\nA blissful reward for those who take adventures outside mainstream pop music.
