Review of the Billy Cobham CD Spectrum
The exceptionally talented Pop artist Billy Cobham has released him CD entitled Spectrum. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Billy Cobham fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Spectrum Billy Cobham’s artistic excellence is on full display as Cobham has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.
I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Spectrum. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
Spectrum has a pleasantly varied, mix of 6 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are him own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions like love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.
Overall Spectrum is a solid release. Quite possibly Billy Cobham's best to date. Really sensational from beginning to end. If you're even mildly into Pop music you'll enjoy this album.
While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Searching For The Right Door / Spectrum, track 5 - To The Women In My Life / Le Lis, and track 6 - Snoopy's Search / Red Baron
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Quadrant 4. Wow!
