Spaced Out

Hailing from Quebec, Canada, the progressive fusion band Spaced Out's self-titled debut features bassist/composer Antoine Fafard and guitarists Mathieu Bouchard and Louis Cote on ten all instrumental tracks sporting complex rhythm patterns, eclectic melodies and innovative arrangements. A disciplined musical structure leaves plenty of room for individual expression, as Cote and Bouchard explore the sonic territory carefully arranged by Fafard (a superb bassist). Peter Thelen of Expose magazine writes, "... the music here totally smokes from beginning to end!... The best thing about Spaced Out is that their compositions are constantly evolving and changing, which bodes well for many repeat listens. In all, this is one of the best surprises in recent memory. My highest recommendation."
