About this CD:
Dan Pinto
has put together a genuinely unique catalog of works with this,
his
latest release. Featured are 10 selections titled with relation to
the main Anomalies
theme. The music alternates mixing varying combinations of Jazz,
Rock,
Blues and Classical, joining that with orchestral and moviesound
styles in
an unusual and powerful Fusion experience. In the extremes, the
moods of the
music shift from very heavy Rock Fusion to beautifully arranged
piano & orchestra.
To add further dimension, Dan has invited three very talented
musicians
to adorn the work.(Detailed
information on his musical guests is available
at the Anomalies Guest Page.)
But even apart from the music, the packaging
design and concept was very carefully thought out and is equally
unique.
The cover features the work of talented photographer,
Tom
Eklund from
Finland (Info
on Tom is also available on the Guest page). Also
featured are
four additional art illustrations including a crossword puzzle on
the inner gatefold.
The intriguing visuals and puzzle all focus on Anomalies
of varying types
with all of the designs being from the creative mind and hands of
Dan Pinto.
This CD offers a powerful musical experience as well as going the
extra mile
in allowing it's listeners to participate in reading and solving the
puzzle from
the clues that are supplied within. It is a truly unique overall
concept CD
package design from top to bottom not often seen anymore in today's
marketplace.
Track
1: FUNK
SHUI
Fusion-Funk that at times reveals a Modern Jazz feel, this
piece is a firecracker
that starts the CD off with bang. It has a heavy pop Funk bass
underline
and a hard rock drums pulse with clever synth effects. It might be
hard
to believe that there were no guitars present on this piece at
all!
Track
2: JIGSAW
Opening with a beautiful piano intro, this piece explodes
into a slow steady
heavy beat alternating between 3/4 and 7/8 time. Highlighted
throughout
with layered acoustic and electric piano sounds, it features a well
arranged
orchestral bridge and smooth synth sounds.
Track
3: BERMUDA
TRIANGLE
Featuring an easy listening Rhodes sounding piano with Bass
and Drums rhythm
track, this piece highlights "John
Asti"
on Flute, Clarinet and Soprano
Saxophone mixing it up with Dan's orchestral synth Oboe & reeds
for
a melodically interesting combination.
Track
4: LABYRINTH
If there were ever a piece of music that could be described
as Mexican Rock
Fusion with a dash of Classical, this would be it! This piece
contains extremely
technical passages and very intricate electronic keyboard work by
Dan,
highlighted with precise electric guitar solos featuring
"Ivan
Romero". A
non-stop rollercoaster ride of musical Jazz-Rock Fusion
excitement.
Track
5: FORTY-TWO
Hinting at times on a Piano style of Michel
Camilo,
Dan Pinto added a touch
of Swing to this Jazzy Piano piece. Primarily a Piano, Bass &
Drums number
with a percussive Hammond & Latin percussion throughout, Dan
couldn't
resist an orchestral arrangement at the end to give it an added
flair.
Track
6: FLIGHT
OF THE PHOENIX
Although Anomalies
is generally an instrumental album, and Dan
Pinto an
instrumental writer, he decided to include this very powerful
lyrical piece. Sung
by award winning vocalist & writer, "Rhonda
Schuster," Dan's
lyrics were
beautifully brought to life with a serious message of hope. A
message that
he has dedicated to the survivors of those who perished in the
9/11 disaster.
Track
7: ENIGMA
With an acoustic guitar and piano ballad feel, this piece has
a very memorable
and spine tingling melody and chorus. Each time they repeat,
something
more is added in the way of orchestral arrangement that makes it
more
and more heart felt right up until the very end.
Track
8:
PANDORA'S
BOX
An absolute show stopper and arguably the most uniquely
powerful piece on
the CD. Featuring both "Ivan
Romero" on
Electric Guitar
and "John
Asti"
on
Alto Saxophone,
they join together with Dan Pinto's powerful electronic
keyboard playing to create a truly unusual combination. The result
is
a very heavy Jazz-Rock and Blues Fusion powerhouse.
Track
9: PYRAMIDS
Close your eyes when this piece begins and you'll feel as
though you've been
thrown back into the year 2500BC. Dan
Pinto
opens this number using his
moviesound writing skills gradually turning that into a combination
of Hammond B-3
sounds ala Keith
Emerson
blended with his own recipe of modern
Jazz-Rock Fusion. A tightly arranged work of art that increases in
intensity
as the melody builds.
Track
10: AURORA
BOREALIS
This is the only track on the CD that abandons drums to
highlight Dan Pinto's
Orchestral ability. Both supported and forwarded by a beautifully
arranged
rainbow of nearly every classical instrument there is, this Piano
piece
shows a style that he feels is the most challenging to create. What
you are
hearing on this piece is NOT a real orchestra, but rather a
digitally recreated
one, instrument by instrument.
