Colour Haze : All (D,2008)**°
The latest album of Colour Haze is pretty long, and also so long so that it more easily reveals the limitations of the skills and method of playing, which reveals itself before the music can keep the listener long enough in hypnosis not to notice it. Never the less, the album gave me a rather enjoyable listen thanks to the band’s qualities, a convincing listen to a good compiled collection of rather jammed songs, and with a good ending for the CD.
The songs seem to either come forward from a moody jam, or are soft rock songs, (-the singing I think is at its best and moody on “Fall”-), which are accompanied by repetitive patterns of fuzzed or electric guitars which start to brood and build up hypnotically, in a close-your-eyes-with-it, smooth-but-already-heavy-psychrock sort of hypnosis-, and with more often a strong emotionality in speeding its tension slightly, with a convincing and perfect drum/rhythm section to it that besides the haze effects of the guitars, makes it work also within a rhythmical grooviness. Here and there are some touches with sitar.
