Calvin Harris' latest album is unfinished. No, I don't mean the disc contains the signs of abandonment, but the platter promises a sequel and we still haven't gotten one yet. Of course, the LP could join the ranks of something like Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy. True, Mr. Harris didn't tinker on his collection of songs that long, yet there's a sense of wait-there's-more present here. You see, Axl Rose claimed Chinese Democracy is a part of a trilogy, yet nothing happened after this. Besides, I don't think we might see the next instalment, since the classic lineup of the group returned. Sadly, I might add, because Chinese Democracy remains for me a frustratingly fascinating listen. Mr. Rose wished to do EVERYTHING on this one, though I must say – he got there on some moments.

Lusk - Free Mars (1997)

Lusk - Free Mars (1997)

Lusk - Free Mars (1997)

Chris Pitman(Guns N' Rosesなど)、Paul D'Amour(Tool、Ministryなど)、 Greg Edwards(Failure、Autoluxなど)、Brad Laner(Medicineなど)によるアメリカのバンド、Luskの唯一のアルバム。 Paul D'Amour、Chris Pitmanによる共同プロデュース。 ToolのドラマーKellii Scottもパーカッションで参加している。

Olivia Tremor Control、XTCの変名バンドThe Dukes Of Stratosphearを感じさせるサイケポップでありながら、エクスペリメンタルロックやドリームポップなどの要素も取り入れた良作。 流石様々なバンドで活躍している職人揃いのバンドである。 センスの良いジャケットや図鑑のような歌詞カードなど、楽曲以外の面でも好印象で、本作品のみで活動を終えてしまったのは残念。

1995～1996年にはChris、Paul、GregのメンバーにFailureのKen Andrewsを加えた前身(？)バンド、ReplicantsでPink FloydやDavid Bowieなどのカバーを披露しており、Luskとしての活動に影響が窺える。

90年代後半にはKen Andrews周辺の良作を残した短命のバンド、プロジェクトが多数存在するので後々紹介したいと思っている。もちろん個人的に多大な影響を受けたFailureも。

個人的ベストトラックは1曲目の“Backworlds ”。
