\"TonyTony Levin, el bajista, el Stick Man<\/em>, el miembro de King Crimson, Peter Gabriel o Stick Men entre otros, publica Bringing It Down to the Bass<\/em>, un \u00e1lbum de 14 piezas cortas y un ingente n\u00famero de m\u00fasicos destacados como colaboradores. S\u00e9ptimo trabajo bajo su nombre desde el lejano Stick Man<\/em> del a\u00f1o 2007 o el firmado al alim\u00f3n por Levin, Torn, White en el a\u00f1o 2011.<\/p>\n

Bringing It Down to the Bass<\/em>, es ecl\u00e9ctico, ameno y variado a lo largo de todo el \u00e1lbum y en cada uno de los cortes que lo componen; desde la inicial y hom\u00f3nima \u201cBringing It Down to the Bass\u201d nos topamos con un en\u00e9rgico jazz-rock<\/em> arropado por los metales y los solos de Dominic Miller y Alex Foster, algo que vuelve a encontrar cobijo en la luminosa \u201cEspressoville\u201d o en el relajante y bailable rhythm &blues<\/em> de \u201cMe and My Axe\u201d.<\/p>\n

Rock<\/em> progresivo tan obsesivo como mel\u00f3dico que recuerda a la banda UK y que se aleja de ella con un estribillo gutural en \u201cRoad Dogs\u201d.<\/p>\n

En \u201cUncle Funkster\u201d es la hora de mostrar un dialogo entre Tony Levin y Vinnie Colaiuta en clave funk<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Riff<\/em> de Tony Levin al bajo stick <\/em>y contundencia de Vinnie Colaiuta en los tambores.<\/p>\n

De vuelta al rock<\/em> progresivo de la mano de \u201cBoston Rocks\u201d. Car\u00e1cter crimsoniano<\/em> que se mezcla con el metal y el brillo de la guitarra de Earl Slick.<\/p>\n

\u201cGive the Cello Some\u201d es una composici\u00f3n para la expresi\u00f3n lujuriosa del groove<\/em> y el \u00f3rgano de Pete Levin, adem\u00e1s de un gi\u00f1o a la m\u00fasica de concierto con el violonchelo de Tony Levin.<\/p>\n

Rompiendo el molde y practicando el humor ir\u00f3nico vocal a capela en \u201cSide B\/Turn It Over\u201d. Una composici\u00f3n en exclusiva donde Tony Levin toca el bajo y canta como lo har\u00edan los The <\/em>Mothers of Invention de Frank Zappa.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond the Bass Clef\u201d es turbadora, envolvente y bella. Rock<\/em> progresivo lirico y delicado como el terciopelo, enriquecido por el viol\u00edn de L. Shankar y el oboe y el english horn<\/em> de Colin Gatwood.<\/p>\n

\u201cBungie Bass\u201d, otra vuelta de tuerca para regresar a King Crimson. Ambientes electrizantes, casi delirantes en clave sosegada de la mano de David Torn, Tony Levin pulsa fuerte y Pat Mastelotto crea tensas atm\u00f3sferas.<\/p>\n

\u201cFire Cross the Sky\u201d, el stick<\/em> y la voz, todo es para Tony Levin. Una pieza sensible po\u00e9tico-recitativa, oscura, dram\u00e1tica y minimalista.<\/p>\n

En \u201cFloating in Dark Waters\u201d brilla un oscuro contrabajo (Tony Levin), cual paradoja sonora que combina con ambientes frippertronicos<\/em> \u00a0(Robert Fripp) y reverberante percusi\u00f3n. (Jerry Marotta)<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the Drums\u201d, un t\u00edtulo evidente para honra y homenaje de un mont\u00f3n de bater\u00edas emblem\u00e1ticos desde la perspectiva vocal de Frank Zappa&The Mothers of Invention y Gentle Giant.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoda\u201d, bello y rom\u00e1ntico final, una coda a modo de m\u00fasica orquestal culta, una buc\u00f3lica delicatesen<\/em>.<\/p>\n
