The joy of motion demonstrates the exceptional position of guitarist Tosin Abasi Star that his Achtsaitigen elicits extraordinary sounds and shines with a virtuosity that at all times subordinate to the band. Like many younger, modern acrobats he represents the rhythm guitar to the fore, including hard or spherical riffs, usually very complex and innovative. He never stands in the foreground, but together with his equally gifted colleagues a virtuoso unit quite loose shakes the most complex grooves out of his sleeve. He differs from the majority of the beneficial H ******** high-speed shredder, populate the youtube and small labels. Joy of Motion is his title this do justice. The songs that actually all are characterized by a certain funkiness and the virtuoso game with shifts in emphasis and abnormal syncopated riffs, hardly find peace. You feel a certain restlessness. Relaxation versa here actually only when the tape in clean passages back on a transition. While the songs are so rhythmically very busy, too much happens harmoniously. The music of chasing an interesting chord to the next. The extremely virtuoso "Tooth and Claw" is an exception with its persistence on a static key. Here remember "Animals As Leaders" when they are very heavy something to the late Death. "The future did awaites me" gets a bit more melodic than the rest, but, again, breaks again this restless rhythm by which "Joy of Motion" pervades. Overall, I can admire the virtuoso guitar work and the achievements of the other band members quite, but I lack in the songs compelling melodies and the whole breaks and chord changes lead somehow into nothingness. As much tension is built up without them leading to any highlights. The joy of movement can be in "Joy of Motion" therefore understand very well, a little less motion and it more melodic and dynamic surprises have the plate but well done. The sound production is actually excellent, clear and punchy. A total of three stars remain. Maybe we can of "Animals As Leaders" later expect better works. You can play in any case.
