Electrocution 250 - Ridiculosous

Heres Electrocution 250, a progressive/experimental/extreme instrumental rock/fusion/jazz band from Sweden. Peter Wildoer (TIME REQUIEM, DARKANE, SILVER SERAPH) (Drums), Todd Duane (Guitars and maybe, bass?), and Lale Larson (Keyboards) made this album... with a cartoonish and funny sound (it definitely has a humoristic tone), and its pretty much unique but at the same time it reminds some of the Looney Tunes frenzy themes. It was made in 2003 and so far it is their only album. For more information + free listening to one of their weird songs (Fletcher the Mouse, the funniest I think, lol) go there  http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1877

Similar to: Spastic Ink, Artifex... hmm

The following two paragraphs concern the whole album, the last one is about this song.

What I liked about this album: Blend of styles, something different, rapid-rainbow laser coloured themes, enjoyable, some kind of virtuosity behind all this mess.

What I disliked about it: While it can be funny when listening to it for the first times, it gets boring in the long run due to the lack of deep ear perception pleasures, the appeal doesnt last long while the first impressions are were very positive to me. I first found it very heterogeneous, but now I kinda feel like its turning all around the same point. So yeah lets call that: fast-food music... it tastes good in your mouth, but it doesnt bring much afterward... thats why I have trouble qualifying it of progressive music, which I think is the extreme opposite of that, lol.

Ridiculosous is the fastest song of the album (except maybe for Todd Duanes Gee-Wiz Guitar Solo) and yeah, it is high pitched and its about the same 3-4 repeated riffs all along. It is more representative of Electrocution 250s style.

Doubt they'll be working on anything like this again. Been a student at the school where both Peter and Lalle tutored. Peter was both my mentor and my drum teacher, as Lalle was my piano teacher, and still is my teacher/mentor in life and great friend.

Lalle is working on his 2nd album atm (first one called Weaveworld, 2nd being a continuation from the first one)

While Peter is doing his thang with Darkane.

As far as i know :)

I was thinking the same thing ahah :P he probably entered the jam room...sat on the drum chair and played something awesome and all the other members were probably like (OH MY FUCKIN GOD) XD

[devouringone3]

Yeah me too I feel like he just entered Electrocution 250 and started playing in a way that can fit the band, without necessarily showing everything of what he could, all of himself..

[megabassmasta]

lol his style of drumming is very unic!!! And I don't know it seem like he can introduce himself in any kind of music. He is an awesome drummer.

[devouringone3]

Lol why is he a wacko of something? :P

I can see on wickypedia he is also a mathematic teacher... hum,
