I admit, music from Uzbekistan is rare! Uzbekistan, you wonder? Yes, that country once part of the Soviet Union. Go and look it up on the map. The capital city is Tashkent. You've learned something today, eh? Neurosis Records re-released this ten track album with a title that could have been the title for a Rick Ray disc. Musically this band could be the younger brother of Rick Ray. While Rick Ray is rooted in the early seventies, Flight 09 is more akin to late seventies, early eighties rock music. Sometimes it's funky (as in Just Do It), sometimes it has an atmospheric touch (Colour Of My Pain). Yet heavy material you won't find. The heaviest track is probably the rock 'n roll song For Sale with its thriving riff and nice solo. Heart, mind and soul of this band is Igor Savitch who sings, plays guitar, keyboards and harmonica. Rifflections is of surprising quality. You can order this disc for seven dollars from Neurosis Records: [email protected]
