Synopsis

Product Description

The debut solo album from the co-founder/bassist of Jane's Addiction is dark and deep - dark in its intimations of disillusionment, isolation, and alienation; deep in its layered electronic textures and sometimes unsettling effects. Yet amid the anguish both personal and political, the artist somehow remains hopeful. Features guest contributions from Shirley Manson (Garbage), Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), and Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers).

CD Reviews

Amazing!

"THis is an amazing album. "Maybe" is such a beautiful duet; "Sun's Gone" makes me think of my city at dawn. Also, Belly of an Insect is an incredibly collage-like mix of amazing sounds. Flea, Shirley Manson, and Taylor Hawkins all sit in; part of the 'Help' I guess. Great work; so good to see this Jane's Addiction bass savant back in a big way."

Hauntingly Gorgeous

"Just an incredibly rewarding effort from Eric Avery. I've been a fan of the truth and core behind Jane's Addiction ever since I saw him perform with his project Polar Bear in '98. This album take me down deep."

Better than current J.A.?

"The answer would be a definite yes. Not that there is anything wrong with Jane's Addiction, but I think back to the moments that stand out for me on Ritual de lo Habitual, and those moments are here in this CD.

For example, take the opening moodiness of Three Days (and killer bass riff ala Eric), and about 2:30 into the song (just before the up tempo part) you get this grandiose feeling when Perry starts to sing "Shadows of the morning light..." Those type of moments are here in this CD.

So now to review Eric's CD alone. I had always wondered what had happened to him after His Deconstruction project with Dave Navarro, since they too broke up. Then I finally did some research to see what, if any, of his current projects were. I see that he released a CD about a year ago so I picked it up after seeing the video for "All remote and no control". I was impressed and bought the CD the next day.

I would normally list which songs are the highlights, but then I would just be listing near the entire album (there are maybe two songs which are so-so).

If you miss the moodiness of JA, then this is a must buy."
