Jordan Rudess
Jordan Rudess / Steve Horelick - InterSonic
Review by Gary Hill
This would land under progressive rock under just about any circumstance at MSJ because of the fact that it's a project by Jordan Rudess. That said, while this is not rock music, it is progressive. There is a lot of ambient, atmospheric sound here. At times this goes into dark territory that makes me think of Nox Arcana. This instrumental set has a good amount of variety, and really does create some intriguing soundscapes. This might not be exactly what you would expect from Rudess, but those paying attention will release that he's always been one to do the unexpected. Please note that I've catalogued this under "Jordan Rudess" to try to keep the archives from going crazy with so many artists.
