Artist: Kevin Max
Album Name: Crashing Gates (Digital)
Label: dPulse Recordings
Comments: You might have missed the latest release from Kevin Max this last December because it was only available digitally. Sorry, no nicely wrapped plastic shiny CD case with cover, lyrics and flat round disc with a hole in it. Well, to anyone under twenty that won�t part with their iPod Touch, this might be ok but I have to say, I miss the physical. Now that my complaining is done, Kevin�s latest release called Crashing Gates is a collection of six new songs and one older track updated for 2009. For those familiar with his work, this one won�t disappoint with the exception that it�s only seven songs.
Kevin�s ability to create unique and thought provoking music has always made me a fan. Crashing Gates, like most all of Kevin�s music, is a pure form of experimental rock. This is music that radio tends to shy away from but it makes for a great experience for the �cd� listener. A few highlights include Out of the Wild. The song is an interesting take on our future in this world. Kevin has performed other songs about eschatology and this one is real good. Your Beautiful Mind 2009 is a rework of the same song from The Imposter album. I absolutely love the slower tone he gave the song. The honest lyrics to this song made it one of my favorites on The Imposter and I like this version ever better. If you don�t spring for all seven tracks, at minimum you should grab this song. Crashing Gates is available on iTunes and Amazon.
