CD Details
Synopsis
Album DescriptionSince 2000, Particle has emerged as one of the hottest up-and-coming acts on the jam-band circuit, playing their techno-flavored instrumental jams at sold-out shows across the country, and selling 30,000 copies of their debut CD, Launchpad (Or Music). In late 2005, their guitar player left, and while auditioning new ones, they realized that they couldn't decide between the two finalists, each of whom would take them in a different, new direction. After much soul searching, they chose both, and instantly expanded their range to include not only a more-organic rock sound, but also vocals, a first for them. This 2-CD set, Transformations Live: For the People, includes not only highlights from the new line-up's first-ever show, but also key performances from their next show, recorded on Fat Tuesday at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall.

CD Reviews
SUMMER MUST HAVE!! E. Johnson | Los Angeles, CA | 07/20/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This cd is the first release that shows off the new line up and the addition of vocals. If you want to get down with the new sound of Particle - this cd is a must have. The special guest tracks are great little nuggets that showcase the potential of this new group of guys. If you want the whole live experience - grab the DVD - Robby Krieger rocking out in a Doors shirt is worth the price alone." Mindblowing!! JamFan77 | Los Angeles, CA | 07/29/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I grabbed this live album after watching the DVD version at a buddy's house and being completely blown away. I've never seen Particle live, but I've heard their stuff before and hadn't really got that into them. That changed with this album!! The jams are incredible! It's nice to hear a band that actually takes the time to let a jam build and grow before just going for the money notes. It may be just me, but I feel like this new stuff is worlds better than the old stuff. The music seems to have more spirituality and complexity than it did on other discs I've listened to. To back it up, there are some great performances by Blackalicious and Joe Satriani!! All in all, I'm completely impressed by this band and I'd highly recommend grabbing this disc along with the DVD version!"
