It isn't often you get to hear a band like this from Australia. In this case I'm glad I got to hear this band. This is a debut album by a band that goes under the name DeLuc. They are playing brilliant Progressive Jazz/Rock Fusion. This is perhaps "musicians music" as the music is very intricate and complex, and it's all instrumental except the last track "Together we touch". But I think that the music could attract even others, as the melodies are very accessible. Their music is a mix between Brand X, Allan Holdsworth, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.

My first contact with the band was when I received a compilation-CD from the Moonchild label. DeLuc's contribution on that CD was the song "Identity" (also on this CD), and I then wrote this about it: "An instrumental track with a band from Australia from their debut CD. This is also one of the better tracks on this compilation. The music is close to Progressive Metal, and if the whole album is of the same standard it have to be really exciting.". When I now have the whole CD spinning in my CD-player I have to say that the whole album is exciting.

All the songs are composed by Fred Leduc (ex. Vaudervihl) and he's also a very technically skilled guitarist. This CD is highly recommended and rumors are saying that a second CD is in the planning, and I hope I get the chance to hear that one too.
