Instrumental music seems to be the Discogs randomizer’s flavour of the week.
The Aristocrats are the flag wavers of the instrumental scene and they push every envelope possible to push each other creatively. Containing three of the best musicians out there they seemingly can play anything. Guthrie Govan is the best there is on guitar, as is Marco Minneman on drums, and ditto Bryan Beller on bass, they are at their creative peak.
They have outdone themselves with this one however, it’s just incredible. Aristoclub is probably the most commercial thing they’ve ever done. Taking inspiration from Technotronic and C &C Music factory you think it would be a recipe for disaster, but instead it’s their finest hour. Massive groove courtesy of Mr. Beller on bass with Guthrie playing a stunning main harmony and just a sublime solo while Marco grooves just as hard on the drums. The band shows their sense of humour with the song titles such as Hey, Where’s My Drink Package, Sittin’ With A Duck On A Bay, and This Is Not Scrotum to name a few.
Real musicians at the top of their game making incredible music, what more could you want, and the production is superb. You have to have this.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
