Voice Of Eye ‎– Seven Directions Divergent

A brand new, self released CD by Taos, New Mexico, electro-organic duo Voice of Eye sees them simultaneously returning to a more "rock" based sound like the "Hot Gypsy Fink Hell" side of their 1992 cassette release, but incorporating a far more polished psychedelic sound hinting at Steve Hillage or The Legendary Pink Dots. These are just references, as this band's sound retains the unique, hypnotic quality that has been it's hallmark since it's "Mariner Sonique" CD. There are beats, rhythms, and vocals present on this recording that are more distinctive in the mix than previous releases, but this does not make this CD any kind of attempt to be pop or mainstream by any stretch of the imagination. The pieces are more song based compositions that still retain the otherworldly yet organic quality that these two have mastered. Overall this a refreshing new sound that ought to still appeal to their fans and perhaps be more accessable to listeners who enjoy having familiar touchstones in their sonic dreamscapes.
