Review by Bruce Stringer
Produced,
recorded and mixed by Ronan Chris Murphy, "Spiral Out" is an extension
of the improvisational outings that made acts like John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu
Orchestra and Tony Williams Lifetime, King Crimson and even Frank Zappa the
uniquely memorable experience that made musical history. Whatever is in Willie
Oteri's water, I think it's high time that it was poured into the two
dimensional cesspool which is what some of the homogenized and pasteurized
modern music industry has become today. Gone are the walls of conformity and the
limitations of clichéd musical formats. What this stripped down skeleton of raw
musical talent leaves us is pure musical spontaneity. This is pure back brain
music with a brilliant cast. Tony Levin crosses the sound waves with skin
maestro Pat Mastelotto and keys man Mike Keneally, all the while allowing
Willie's guitar madness to take off and to subtly lay a musical platform for the
Miles-esque trumpet of Ephraim Owens. Production genius, Murphy, is also
released onto the recording with some Rhodes piano playing proving that music
can once again allow the 'spirit of adventure' breathe through
it.
