E. LUNDQUIST

Lundquist's music displays a rich tapestry of influences including the cinematic & experimental jazz-infused library music that influenced his previous LP 'Multiple Images'.

Now he is back with another ample helping of his hallucinogenic sonics, utilizing a bevy of vintage gear to replicate that warm glow of '70s jazz- funk. From the Fender Rhodes MKI to the ARP Odyssey, to the Mellotron, the keys and synths he employs on these tracks display a genuine appreciation for the groove-driven music of The 'Me" Decade. The album plays like the score to a cult classic B-movie. The sun-drenched haze of "Soliloquy" could easily be what you hear during the calm before the storm in a Blaxploitation flick and the laidback crawl of "Euphoria" seems ripped right out of a fuzzy '70s blue movie. But there is a certain sophistication here, like the way the horn section, slinky guitar, and trippy synths combine on "Escape" to sound like liquid one moment and like a summer breeze the next.
