Phish frontman Trey Anastasio’s third official solo release finds him in an orchestral mood, offering up dramatic re-workings of Phish songs and new originals. He plays on only two of the album’s seven tracks, preferring instead to focus on writing, arranging and conducting the classical musicians at his disposal. His last two records, 2001’s Trey Anastasio and 2003’s double-live Plasma, were deep funk explorations recorded with his powerhouse solo band. This fully instrumental cd explores his music in an entirely different setting, and despite clocking in at only 29 minutes, each moment is infused with his singular musical vision.
