Inspired by Great Science-Fiction films as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris, Akira and Blade Runner, this album is a cosmic-themed Space-Rock adventure fit to be a soundtrack to a voyage into the world beyond the world.

Inspired by Great Science-Fiction films as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris, Akira and Blade Runner, this album is a cosmic-themed Space-Rock adventure fit to be a soundtrack to a voyage into the world beyond the world. Complimented by thoughtful lyrics and musical influences from several Progressive-Rock artists and film soundtracks, this album is an experience to be had.

I originally planned this album to be a Concept Album with a story about a distressed child desperately trying to fit in with a world he hated and could not understand, but as time went on, I became more interested in giving this album a Science-Fiction theme. So the only real possible concept linking the whole album together is its adventurous feel, but it really isn't a Concept Album.

While there isn't any real link connecting the whole album together, there are two common ideas; the nature of the universe and the nature of family.

The first track on the album, "Gods In Hell (Intro)" presents a metaphoric replacement of Nature and Analog music with Machinery and Electronic music. It is meant to lead into "Gods In Hell," which discusses that due to technology, humanity has changed into something else and lost its true nature. Also dealing with the universe, "Akira," discusses the theme of the Universe being cyclic in several ways, which is also a prominent theme in Katsuhiro Otomo's Anime masterpiece of the same name.

The other thematic group of songs in the album is "Hope In Desperation", "Who Are You?" and "A Doll's House." The first song, the most personal on this album, is about my unborn brother, who died through miscarriage after 7 months of my mother's pregnancy. After having ill feelings about having a new member of the family, I felt disgusted at myself once he had died. I found myself wondering what it would've been like if I would've known him, feeling more remorse the more I wondered. I decided to channel those feelings into the song. The theme of the next song, "Who Are You?", is about the extreme limitations of communication. We can never truly know each other, because there is no way to communicate every experience an individual has had to another. All we can ever truly know about a person is their appearance, the things we are told about them (which may not even be true) and the things that we see them do. We can never truly know their thought process, their true feelings and everything that they've experienced. We can not even imagine the complexity of another human being. The final song in this group, "A Doll's House", combines these themes into one and states that the idea of family technically only exists in our minds, so families that do not get along well should not have to feel like they owe each other something. Rather, they should be able to go their separate ways and not have a commitment to each other.

Empty Space Orchestra are a band that explore the gamut of what is possible when playing incredibly organized instrumental music, yet still be able to cause a few surprises. On their self-titled album (this is their second album), there are elements of rock, punk, jazz, blues, heavy metal, ska, funk, and classical. One way to compare this would be to say “take all the penultimate bits and riffs from some of your favorite songs, and just make songs out of that. This is what ESO are about.” Yet that reduces them to nothing more than a highlight reel, and these guys are more than that. Some of their songs remind me of how intricate Frank Zappa was with his bands throughout the 1970?s, where you’re unsure where things are going but you put faith in the musicians because they at least know where they’re going. This is that type of band where you want to rock the fuck out and go crazy, but the sounds coming through are so intense that the nerd in you wants to stand in a pit and be able to take in the energy from fans who are into their music. It feels explosive and out of control, not unlike those highsSunny Day Real Estate used to create. Tracks like “Get Some”, “Tiger Puss”, and “Exit Strategry” sound like everyone in the group (this orchestra is actually a quintet) wanting to cram their influences in and they deal with a common ground that’s quite pleasant to listen to. It’s not as chaotic as Mr. Bunglewere, but one could easily hear Mike Patton singing about macaroni and aloha shirts over instrumentals like this, as a Dixieland piano enters the room.

In other words, Empty Space Orchestra are a group who want to fill the void that is that empty space, and they’re doing it until it goes over the rim with the rich taste of… sound.

Progressive Rock ist in den vergangenen Jahren wieder sehr angesagt. Seitdem einige Bands aus der Versenkung aufgetaucht sind, von denen man glaubte, es gäbe sie nicht mehr, werden jüngere Musiker nach und nach von diesem Musikstil inspiriert und wagen sich auch mal, längere Stücke auf eine CD zu packen. Nun ist ja bekannt, dass in diesem Genre viele Musiker von Nöten sind, um den Klang zu transportieren oder bei Konzerten glaubwürdig klingen zu lassen. Dass es auch zu dritt funktionieren kann, beweisen LEST aus deutschen Landen. Ihr Debüt-Album "Odysseus" klingt dabei nach vielen bekannten Bands auf einmal. Debüt kann man das eigentlich nicht nennen, existiert die Formation mit zeitweiligen Besetzungswechseln bereits seit 1995, als sie von Drummer Kickers ins Leben gerufen wurde. Weshalb es so lange gedauert hat, bis die erste CD auf dem Ladentisch liegt, wissen nur sie alleine. Berufserfahrung haben alle Musiker zur Genüge, haben sie doch schon viele Konzerte gespielt und sind auf einigen Festivals aufgetreten. Leider ist ihre Internetpräsenz etwas dürftig und es mangelt an ausreichenden Informationen.
Die sieben Songs der CD bieten einen guten Querschnitt durch die Materie, von sehr leise bis kräftig rockend. Die Stimme von Sänger Sebastian Mauve ist zwar an manchen Stellen sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig, seine Gitarre haut dafür umso mehr rein. Bereits beim Eröffnungssong "Light Fantastic" ist das deutlich zu vernehmen. 9:30 Minuten voller sehr schöner Gitarrenkapriolen, die zum Ende des Songs immer bombastischer werden. Drummer Kickers tobt sich dazu an seinem Set so richtig aus und schlägt auf alles, was vor und neben ihm hängt. Selten kommt dabei ein gleichmäßiger Takt heraus, aber das macht ja den Reiz des Prog aus.
Track Nummer zwei ist gleichzeitig der Titelsong und erste Auskopplung. "Odysseus" ist sehr ansprechend gestaltet und zeigt deutlich die Einflüsse der Musiker von LEST. Da wird schon mal tief in den Siebzigern gewühlt, als diese Musikrichtung voll auf der Höhe war. Vergleiche mit Jane oderGrobschnitt sind nicht von der Hand zu weisen, und wer die fast elf Minuten durchhält, wird mit einem Ende belohnt, das sehr nach den frühen Jahren von Genesis klingt.
Dass es auf der CD "Odysseus" nicht ständig nach oben gehen kann, beweist der mittlere Block der Scheibe, der aus drei Songs besteht, die etwas anstrengend sind. "Sir Knight" schöpft zwar wieder aus dem Vollen, aber gesangstechnisch überzeugt mich das Stück leider nicht. Ebenso bleibt bei mir "The Day" auf der Strecke. Die Musik ist durchweg gut, aber ich kann mich noch immer nicht an die Stimme von Sebastian gewöhnen. Um mir entgegen zu kommen, liefern LEST mit "Birth" ein kurzes Instrumental-Intermezzo. Ganze 1:19 Minuten ist das Stück kurz und verschwindet so schnell wie es gekommen ist. Dazu in einem rasenden Tempo, das mich völlig überrascht. Bleiben wir doch lieber bei den längeren Klangeskapaden und was passt da wohl am besten? Natürlich eine nette Ballade, die ja auf fast keiner CD fehlen darf. Im Prog Rock auch eher ungewöhnlich, aber wer scheut heute noch vor irgend etwas zurück. "Innocence & Experience" ist sehr tragend gesungen und gespielt. Da macht das Hören wieder Spaß und die Band findet zu bewährter Form zurück. Zum krönenden Abschluss gibt es noch ein Stück in einer vernünftigen Länge von fast neun Minuten. "Ways" zeigt den Hören den Weg, den die Band einschlagen wird. Schöne kräftige Gitarrensounds, gepaart mit verspielten Drums, treibendem Bass und einer Stimme, an die ich mich bestimmt auch gewöhnen werde, wenn ich die nächste CD von LEST in den Händen halte.
Line-up:
Sebastian Mauve (vocals, guitar)
Kickers (drums)
Pascal Rameix (bass)
