Particle, Spiritual Rez October 31, 2007

Particle is another in the new breed of jam bands that have a penchant for improvising electronically, even when more traditional instruments actually carry the "groove." Charlie Hitchcock, Particle's guitarist, is one to watch. Add Moog-sampling, keyboardist Steve Molitz and a proficient rhythm section and you've got what the band itself calls "space-porn-funk."

Sprung from the basements of the Berklee College of Music in 2003, Spiritual Rez is known for their unique, genre-hopping sound and high-energy live performances. Rebel charm and forthright Tuff Soul make Jsan and the Analogue Sons a life-force that evokes the integrity of Bob Marley and the romance of Marvin Gaye.
