Flotante Mag From N 04, 2015

Killer new solo studio disc by long-standing guitar rock riffmaster Mike Onesko, the leader & frontman of the mighty Blindside Blues Band. Includes 10 tracks of awesome, powerful, hard-hitting, hi-energy, blues-based, retro-70s, heavy guitar rock riffage/mojo that is all about the R.O.C.K. and destroys everything in it's path. A full frontal heavy guitar rock assault that is on a Mission to Keep the Rock alive. From the intense, powerful opening heavy rocker The Destroyer to the dynamic thought provoking final track Child Of The Sky (an excellent musical tribute that is dedicated to the late, great Ronnie Montrose), every track hits hard with kick ass, brain-damaging, face-melting, storm troopin', six string weapons of mass destruction.

Reissue with latest 2015 DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. A bold little message from alto saxophonist Lenny Hambro – a very strong record that should have made him as much of a giant on his instrument as contemporary talents like Lee Konitz or Herb Geller! Hambro has some of the soulful edge of the latter, and lots of the crisp, modern chromes of the former – especially in the way he runs alongside some great guitar in the group from Dick Garcia – a player we mostly know for his work on the Dawn label at the time, but who really makes the record something special here. The rest of the combo features Wade Legge on piano, Clyde Lombardi on bass, and Mel Zelnick on rhythm – and Hambro's sax work is angular and very deft – already at the top of his game. Titles include the Legge originals "Slave Girl", "Message In Minor", "Moon Slippers", and "Hoof Beats" – plus Hambro's "Thanatopsis" and "The Lonely One".

Bandleader Simon Jeffes composed the leadoff track "Music for a Found Harmonium" on a harmonium he found abandoned on a Tokyo street, which offers an inkling of the musical inspiration that sprang from this remarkable Englishman. As usual, he gathers a loose aggregation of musicians who create stunning, free-flowing acoustic sounds that defy categorization…
