Prepare for a musical experience that will leave your senses comfortably numb beyond belief. Once you press play, there is no turning back. The mind blowing debut release, 'The Force Within' from the Byron Nemeth Group is one of most explosive and powerful instrumental recordings I've had the pleasure of experiencing in quite some time. This album stimulates a whole gamut of different feelings and each song has a unique attitude. Despite expressing a myriad of moods, from the groove laden opening track, "Satrianimal", past the intense vibe of the title track, to the album closing remake of The Beatles classic "I Am The Walrus", which simply blew me away. An extremely strong recording, that is never too challenging to the ear, but yet remaining connotative. Building a universe of imagery, surrounded by abundant atmosphere. While Nememth's guitar is stellar throughout, let's not discount the quality of the supporting musicians. Ed Stephens delivers a shining performance, with his winding bass lines. Dave Clark keeps up with the wide range of feels well, while Joseph Hengesbaugh adds some sensory polish through clever keyboard and effect touches. Simply put, 'The Force Within' is an instrumental masterpiece. If you have never heard of Byron Nemeth before, get your hands on this recording and discover what you are missing.
