The third Trance Lucid cd, The Colours of Darkness, steps into a new direction and spotlights a previously less visible, heavier segment of the band's music. The cd contains 3 mainstays from the Trance Lucid live repertoire and 3 songs developed in the studio. The approach in recording was more experimental than in the past, with a focus on emphasizing rock textures.
The result is a more driving guitar sound and a less jazzy feel than the first two Trance Lucid cds. Deviating from the usual rock trio format, the upright bass is featured prominently on three songs, creating an interesting tonal balance.

Down to Earth Space Rock

If that makes any sense. Great musicianship and texturing. Nice conceptual package. The CD becomes introspective in the middle but really socks it to you at the beginning and end. The music is constantly moving. Everything is important.

great playing and a lot of mood
author: Tim Blake
The Colours of Darkness is an aptly named album. It contains of 6 instrumental fusion tracks that have a darker feel to them. The dark feeling doesn’t come from a heaviness or from a metal sound, which this album certainly does not have. Instead, it is the mood that is set in the melodies. One can see listening to this on a cold, cloudy autumn day. The first track, called The Birds of Years Past, is a well put together piece that displays the band’s ability to play their instruments without trying to show off. Terry Lee resists the temptation to prove that he is a masterful musician by overplaying and instead lays down a solid groove track after track. Mix that with Bill Noertker’s bass work, and you have a solid rhythm section.
Dave Halverson’s guitar playing is both tasteful and heartfelt. He is as strong a composer as anyone out there. The melodies are so thought provoking and moving that one can’t help but to keep the cd on repeat cycle so that it can be heard again and again. This cd is a must have.
