MORAINE - MANIFEST DENSITY

• moraine: manifest density
  (2009, cd, usa, moonjune records)

Moraine includes an electric guitar, a cello, a violin, a bass guitar and drums. Not exactly the most typical setting for a rock band.

Moraine plays fusionlike, instrumental progressive rock. The compositions are lyrical and catchy and the various tracks are written by various members of the band.
I like it.

Nice pieces, fine solos and an impressive Dennis Rea on guitar. I especially like the tone of the guitar. It fits in very good with the violin and the cello.
Check it out some audio and video snippets over at the Moonjune website:

The Dennis Rea bio is quite impressive. Dennis has played all over the globe and has written a book about his musical experiences in China.
He also performed with the Sun Ra Arkestra...
