When
solo artists release their debut album on a
double disc and plays all the instruments by
themselves and also do all the vocals too, normally I
would call it musical suicide. The Irish/Italian
multi-musician David J Caron has done exactly this
and against all my bad odds; his work is something
extremely different and he has also written all the 28!!
tracks on 'Thru Ever-Ending Black' album.
Sadly for me, only 15 of them are on my
promotion-disc, so this review is based on those
tracks. David has a well tuned and a smooth voice
and together with very adult-sounding rock songs
he kept my interest all the way to the
finish-line. Epic, wayward and extraordinary rock
is something that comes to mind. He has a special style
and character to his music. The guitar is always in the musical
forefront of the
songs and he blends pure prog rock with electric
drums and synthesizers in a wild mix, but with a
magic touch. Some progressive metal
influences and radio friendly pop tunes in a crazy
well written production.
There is always a strong melodic rock vein in every
song. It feels little strange somehow, but the
music has an unique charisma and tickles my music
nerve so it becomes irresistible. It's hard to
sort out, when one song ends and the new begins,
feels like a thick novel. My feeling is that he
has something important and world-changing to tell
the audience.
David has created his own universe and it is very nice
world to be a visitor in or as a guest in the Caron's own
space-ship. The songs are driven, have positive up-tempo and I
am amused and happy with the
exact balanced lyrics that David sends out of
my speakers in every single song. So buckle up and
step into this pleasant journey to a new musical
experience.
David has together with his co-producer 'Rob
Mancini' created a super tight production that is
flawless in the sound-picture.
If you are a fan of Melodic Rock and want to broaden
your horizon, then this is a album you must to have in
your possession!
This is something special and I'll try to get the
double-disc 'asap' into my collection.
