Oscillation Cycles 05. Activation Synthesis Theory 06. REM 07. Night Terror 08. Bleeding In The Brain 09. Vegetation 10. Narcolepsy 11. EEG Tracings 12. Sleep Deprivation 13. The Insomniac 14. Amnesia 15. Adenosine Breakdown 16. Adenosine Buildup Spielzeit: 57:12 Ron Jarzombek is an extraordinary guitar talent who has been tearing it up on the heavier side of the progressive scene for awhile, and this project with bassist Alex Webster and drummer Charlie Zeleny is just one more feather in an increasingly impressive hat. The music is complex enough to appease tech-heads everywhere but is also quite definitely metal with a capital M, as evidenced by the chunks of cast iron that spew from the trios album The Machinations of Dimentia. The music reveals what is possible in prog metal at its most genuine and is laced with many side-trips and modular explorations, mechanical sounds, space, and fusion as heard on the first cut Synaptic Plasticity. Brain Fingerprinting goes deeper, getting into unexpected polymeters and little electronic details, Jarzombeks guitar switching from monstrous to gentle at any given moment, showing us the sh*t with a laser touch and why hes a talent to be reckoned with. More majestic mayhem on Oscillation Cycles, and the head-splitting Activation Synthesis Theory at eight minutes is an easy contender for Best ProgMetal Shred award. Night Terror has hints of Satriani, Bleeding in the Brain does its very best thrash impression, Vegetation calms the stomach as does Narcolepsy, a beautiful flight through a night sky. The preoccupation with slumber continues on The Insomniac with furious playing and echoes of Luke Jaegers work on the Sleep Terror project, and Amnesia is more a mental breakdown than music. The record ends with the awesome Adenosine Breakdown/Buildup featuring distinctive Jarzombek guitar stylings. Not to be taken while trying to remain sane or calm, Blotted Science will surely rip you a new one and must be heard by anyone interested in the madness of precision. (Quelle: progarchives.com) Persoenlicher Nachtrag: Eine Instrumental-Supergroup, die ihrem Titel auch gerecht wird. Ron Jarzombek (Spastic Ink, Watchtower, Gordian Knot), Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal) und das Drumtier von Behold...The Arctopus, Charlie Zeleny, sollten jedem Frickelfan das Wasser im Munde zusammen laufen lassen. Ein Killeralbum, dass hoffentlich die Beachtung bekommt, die es verdient. Was man leider von einigen Alben des Gitarrengotts Jarzombek nicht sagen kann. Meine Wertung: 9.0/10 Hoerbeispiele: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=197477673 Re: Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia - myhomeismycastle - 18.10.2007 absolut gutes zeug. bisschen eingaengig progressiv, aber auch 9/10 fuer mich  Re: Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia - padrak - 18.10.2007 Ich hab meine CD sogar persoenlich vom Meister zugeschickt bekommen Re: Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia - braindad - 18.10.2007 klingt recht interessant, aber ist nicht ganz fuer mich Re: Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia - dorftrottel - 26.10.2007 Hab ich gestern beim PC zusammenbauen mit Kumpel gehoert, das war ganz schoen ablenkend, man hoert aber ziemlich genau raus, wo jarzombek vorher gespielt hat (Spastic Inc.), das klingt schon durch. Geht aber gut ab!
