Album Notes

The seriously intense debut album from Phi Yaan-Zek (before he changed his name), with warp-driven guitars, twisted odd meter techno, hyperactive rhythms, alienised soundscapes and a 'Jazz From Hell' attitude.

Venturing into the kind of territory associated with the likes of Mr Bungle, Frank Zappa, Nine Inch Nails, Richard Pinhas, Buckethead, Univers Zero and King Crimson, this CD will draw you into a netherworld of groundbreaking instrumental music. Whether it's a mutating spooky atmosphere, a cascade of guitar virtuosity and schizophrenic electronic percussion, or a torrent of high-velocity cartoon speed metal, this album is constantly full of surprises. Yet again Phi's often noted 'unrepentant sense of adventure' doesn't disappoint. 'Worlds Beyond Cause' is a daring and personal exploration of the bizarre and the frantic.

Great music, Challenging and exciting
author: Rob Befumo
If you like Frank Zappa's instrumental music, you'll love this. The blend of sequencing and 'real' instruments works really well. Lot's of stylyes, the CD never gets boring. I loved it.

Instrumental Guitar weirdness from one-man band
author: EER-MUSIC.COM
Philippe Ansari is a guitarist who uses basses, keyboards and drum machines to create some alien soundscapes. Upon pushing play I am reminded of early period Devo. The first 2 tunes are quirky, guitar-driven pieces of the Devo ilk sans vox. Track 3 is more Zappa-inspired with constant stops and changes. Track 4 is an excursion in rhythmless sound effects. Track 5 is a bit of warped, pentatonic like madness. Track 6 sounds like an interesting 50s monster movie soundtrack. Track 7 is a short serene ambient, spacey piece. Track 8 sounds like something off King Crimson's Space Groove album sans lead guitar. Track 9 is a strong piece of instrumental ProgMetal with some weirdness thrown in for good measure. Track 10 is a rhythmic piece of electronica in odd time sigs. Track 11 is a menacing Trance groove like Richard Pinhas set to a techno drum beat. Track 12 is a short sequenced piece. Track 13 starts off with a rhythm like mid-period Killing Joke but then slips back into the Devo thing mixed with Steve Vai's Flexable but all the while retaining a feeling of uniqueness. This is perhaps the most mainstream progressive piece thus far in the album. The final track on the album is an ominous, ambient sound effects adventure. Mr. Ansari is all over the map on this album. If you like experimental music that knows no boundaries then this is for you. ~ L. Perez
