Our Take
Our Take
In a musical galaxy far, far away, there lies a planet so outlandish, so bizarre, that even the most adventurous space voyagers fear to tread. Enter Derek Sherinian, the fearless captain of the starship Planet Xin, where musical fusion takes on a whole new meaning.
From the moment the album lifts off with the cosmic funk of "Empyrean Sky," listeners are catapulted into a whirlwind of virtuosic keyboard wizardry and mind-bending time signatures. Sherinian's deft touch and otherworldly technique on the keys transport you to a realm where jazz, rock, and electronica collide in a kaleidoscopic frenzy.
With guest appearances from luminaries like Steve Vai and Tony Franklin, the sonic landscape of Planet Xin is as vast and varied as the cosmos itself. Tracks like "Antony with a Gun" and "El Camino Diablo" pulsate with a raw energy that is at once exhilarating and alien. Sherinian's mastery of the keys is on full display here, as he effortlessly navigates through peaks and valleys of sonic exploration.
But it's not all intensity and bravado on Planet Xin. Tracks like "Gypsy Moth" and "Est Ox" offer moments of respite, where Sherinian's delicate touch and melodic sensibilities shine through. It's in these quieter moments that the true beauty of this interstellar odyssey reveals itself.
So buckle up, dear listeners, and prepare for a journey unlike any other. Derek Sherinian's Planet Xin is a musical thrill ride that will leave you breathless and begging for more. Beam me up, Scotty, this album is out of this world.
