Allaboutjazz wrote: ...with this outing, the musicians cross the fuzzy line between progressive-rock, chamber and intelligent pop. Their whispery and rather understated vocals generate an air of innocence atop weaving strings and ostinatos that tend to stick to basic rock patterns. The producers press blurb suggests that the album could provide the backdrop for any David Lynch movie. But the group isn't really performing within an avant-garde musical terrain. On the contrary, the musicians deliver a highly palpable, if unconventional, performance. It's not often that you find an ensemble fusing such disparate influences into a cohesive and somewhat enigmatic (perhaps that's the Lynch connection?) totality, but this all works out very nicely. Vortexjazz wrote: ...it is entirely sui generis, haunting, atmospheric, replete with startling dynamic and textural contrast, compulsively playable, perfect 'Late Junction' fare. Recommended. |

Jazzweekly wrote: ...Are you old enough to remember what Virgin Records were like in the early 70s'? Metamorphosis would easily fit right in that roster. This band is likely to find many fans, but only if the fans find them. Inside, the booklet says "Contaminated Chamber Music". Too askew for NPR, yet not as ascerbic as chamber Bartók, Metamorphosis should find favor among fans of Gypsophilia and Steeleye Span, the current jazz-klez-Euroethnic breed, as well as those of Kevin Ayers and Robert Wyatt. This apparently Czech-Austrian group often uses folk-like instruments in a prog-rock manner... Downtown music gallery wrote: ...Martin Alacam is the main vocalist and he has a wonderful smoky voice that remains gripping whether somber or a bit twisted at times. There is actually just a minimum of singing here, so that each vocal appearance is quite special. What is truly incredible is that this release works as one unified work which unfolds like a story or soundtrack paints scenery and lets the action unfold our (mind's) eyes... |

1998 - Metamorphosis

The Wire wrote: Metamorphosis sound totally original, executing a successful cross-pollination between the traditional and the experimental with considerable verve. The SKIF festival commented: ...Austrian/Czech/Turkish artists Metamorphosis, who call their art "contaminated chamber music." Well, however you wish to call it, this string quartet (2 guitars, cello, violin) plays music that should be the film score for any Tim Burton film, a churning prog--new-classical hybrid that extends beyond chamber to make a totally unique sound... |
