This wonderful album is my favorite of the past couple of months, if the amount of time I've spent listening to it is any indication. Siena Root, a Swedish hardrock band with more range than almost anyone out there, have released their second offering, following on the heels of their "Mountains"-single (read review 23-12-2005). This time around, it's an eight-song offering, with a similar but more rough around the edge-sound, Pure positive energy coupled with creative melodies and drastic shifts in mood and style make for an incredibly dynamic, interesting listen. For the most part "Kaleidoscope" is a journey back through time where the band members get to indulge in the music that influenced them. So we get a healthy dose of Jefferson Airplane, Uriah Heep, Jimi Hendrix, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin, Taste, The Doors all thrown into the mix. Even though not all songs are on the same beyond-ingenious level, there is not a single weak tone to be heard. "Good and bad" is an impressive eight minutes long and manages to convey pure emotion for its full length that will have you reaching for the volume knob again and again. The two shorter tracks "There and back again" and "Blues 276" bulges with bluesy grooves, Rory Gallagher-ish guitar leads and toe-tapping rhythms. There are chackatacka riffs accompanied with Sam Riffer’s funky bass lines on "Nightstalker". "Ridin’ slow" is almost frighteningly good, that still leaves nothing to be desired. On the contrary, the guitarlead rides right under the skin and makes you shudder with pleasure. Add Sanya’sclear and guiding vocals and you get one excellent complete package. Another highlight is the raga suite "Bhairavi dhun" which gives KG West on the sitar the chance to show his abilities. The finish is made out of the magnificently monolothic gripping suspense builder "Reverberations" with great stomping percussive work by Love. Because of the exotic flute-playing and the "wring that neck"-crescendo it’s like watching a Deep Purple Mark II concert in the Andean/Himalayan (choose your gig: they’re both very rewarding) valley. From the opening track "Good and bad" to the final "Reverberations" you’re treated to some fantastically well-realized and recorded music. (~ Concreteweb)
