Chris Bacon

First of all, let me just tell you that his middle initial is, in fact, P. That makes him Chris P. Bacon. Just go ahead and relish that for a minute. Done yet? Okay, I�ll wait. How about now? Real good, then: Chris is the clown prince of VOLUMEN, the band�s court jester, its theatrical fall guy. And also its most recent addition, although you�d never know it to hear the way his wicked cool keyboard lines blend seamlessly with VOLUMEN�s fully-realized, graduate level guitar pop sound. Chris is also the ace up the VOLUMEN lead vocal sleeve, the catalyst by which an already, um, uh, high-octane show can suddenly take that quantum leap into fourth-dimensional coitus between audience and band with a perfectly-timed cover of the KINKS� "Superman" or his own ladies�-choice-slow-skate showstopper, "Super Confident Guy." And front-side ollies? Yeah, he�s got those.

Title: Science Faction Review
Author: Skif

Volumen - Science Faction (Wantage)
Swirling keys all rough abrasive guitars to kick at the base of the Maypole i.e. this LP is as much part of festivity as it is reacting to it. It is jerky, percussive and has a grit and brawn that slightly tips the balance over the nerdish attention to invention that runs throughout the hour. Prog and psyche have been suckled to produce this expansive, menacing LP that has echoes of Mars Volta and Oneida. They also play up an electro element nicely on �Dune?
