Black Science has done something that few local bands have done: make a record that is both original and outsider at the same time. A New Mastery Of Light is eleven tracks of outsider psychedelic, aggressive rock with some variable structure from the norm. The Dune samples at the beginning bring a smile to my face, but the record really starts to hook me at sixth track, called “Two Way Ticket To Infinity” at this point A New Mastery Of Light turns way outsider and gets really, really good. John, the vocal/guitar/synth dude in the band is an old friend from his Nemesis Theory days. I dig what he is getting into with the Black Science stuff now, especially the last five tracks on this CD. The synth stuff adds a layer missing to most of the bands around today. Its almost jam bandy at points, which is not a bad thing, it’s kind of like a harsh early Pink Floyd for Tool fans or something. In similar fashion I think some the lyrics are over my head, but that’s just fine with me. I dig the tracks and would be stoked to see the live show with nice wall of sound to back it.
