Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band

The Rarity Of Experience Disks 1 & 2

2016-11-28

There are two disks on this record, which are pretty different from one another. The first disk is more like an Umphrey's Mcgee and primarily lyricless. They have that Jam Band feel, and very improvisational overall. Some really good beats and very enjoyable. Disk 2 is a little slower overall, and more towards the Jazzy side of things. The only track with lyrics on Disk 2 is track 4, but it is not to disregarded as it is very solid and enjoyable to listen to. I enjoyed it quite a bit at the end of the day. Solid all the way around.
