I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Fool's Fate, from Rik Wright's Fundamental Forces and it's really cool. Opening with Fool's Fate, Rik Wright on guitar sets a rhythm, joined by Greg Campbell on drums and Geoff Harper on bass carving out a funky fusion feel. James DeJoie on alto sax plays aggressive shredding riffs surrounded by lush chords by Wright. This is a spacy, creative track with plenty of expansive space. Very cool opener. Freezer Jam pairs Wright and DeJoie on melody over a creative, jagged rhythm by Harper and Campbell. DeJoie breaks free forming a more cohesive melody on sax and Wright plays a particularly melodic rhythm as DeJoie breaks free, leading to his own guitar romp supported by Harper and Campbell. Staggering. Luminescence has a haunting, particularly beautiful melody, structured by Wright on electric guitar chords, and easy paced melodic lines by DeJoie. Wright takes a calming, well articulated guitar solo of his own with only bass and drum support, really digging out an emotional solo to conclude the track. Super. Wrapping the release is Something Sad and Sweet where Wright plays lush chords with echo and volume swells to create a beautiful, airy, melody that literally floats. Sophisticated closer for a very nice release.
