This disc continues the Rare Blend adventure of exploring different textures of musical genre. From the Spanish groove of "Catemaco," to the Middle Eastern feel of "Belly Dancer," to the tribal rhythms of "Fifty Thousand Years."
Its contents are suggestive of the band's name; the raw energy of one side and the abstract melodic movements of the other. Rare Blend brings an exciting wide array of styles that you wouldn't normally associate with a fusion band. Evolution Theory stands out as one of Rare Blend's finest efforts to date.
Musicians:
Vic Samalot -Electric & Acoustic Guitars, percussion on
"Fifty Thousand Years".
Bobbi Holt -Keyboards, Vocals. Didgeridoo on "Fifty Thousand Years". 2nd Guitar on "Rod's Migraine"
Jeff Scott - Fretted & fretless bass
Paul Stranahan -Drums & Percussion
Kip Reed -Bass (Techno Jam & So Cool)

It's really astonishing
what brilliant bands you can discover if you dig deeper and
don't rely on the crap being published by most of big major
companies. "Evolution theory" should appeal to everyone
who likes a good rocking mixture of Jazz Rock / Fusion
with a light Latin and Funk touch.

I really like this CD. Very melodic and very interesting in a Prog-Rock sense. There is a lot of variety here, while still maintaining a cohesive band signature sound..
