Rarely has an album (despite its label name, this is a CD) earned the name "TripRock" as much as the second album in the Los Angeles-based Corridor. It's hard to believe: there's no band at work here whose musicians spur each other on to their different instruments in order to advance their irresistible rhythms ever more powerfully, ever more quickly, ever more irrepressibly. No, Corridor is Michael Quinn and no one else. The multi-instrumentalist plays everything himself, whether drums, guitar, piano, cello or bass. His dark, reverberant voice sets another timbre. And Quinn is a skilled composer: no matter how rhythmic it may be, there are also great melodies. The seven tracks combine Gothic à la Tiamat or The Mission and Popfolk such as The Walkabouts with the Dark Folk of :Of The Wand And The Moon: and the artful Triprock as served by archives. It flickers, it vibrates, sometimes acoustically, sometimes electrically. Here everything marches forward.
