5.0 classic
Cynic Focus
It was one of those moments in life, every person who listens and loves music has. A moment that changes your perception of music to that degree that all standards you had before just become outdated. The most recent one came in the form of Cynic and it's first album Focus dating way back in 1993.
I could easily say that everything about this album is perfect. The growls, the somewhat alien, robotic voice created by a vocoder, the interplaying guitars, the best fretless bass performance I have ever heard, the brilliant drumming. Oh, but the atmosphere… This album just takes you to a distant place, it makes you detached from this world, sucked into a complex, layered plane of technical riffs cleverly interplaying with fusion jazz passages and occasional atmosferic keyboard melodies backed by a furiously good rythm section and phylosophical lyrics, the courtesy of Paul Masvidal. This album sounds like it is not from this world and that's how you will feel when you take a journey through it. Enjoy.
