Good stuff.......2004-06-16

I bought this cd the last time I saw Murder By Death, and it's very good. Granted, most of the MBD songs are from their first record, but the incredible stuff from Volta Do Mar more than made up for it. What an great band. Reminiscent of Rumah Sakit or June of 44.

Absolute Hidden Gem.......2007-03-29

Volta do Mar; "return from the sea" in Portuguese is a sailing technique in which you sail in the wrong direction for the purpose of catching better wind, and better yet it is also the name of the Chicago IL instrumental math rock quartet. Aside from the traditional rock band makeup there are two bass players in the band, one playing a 5 string bass and the other playing a 6 string bass. Formed in 1999, the band has released an EP, Split, full length album and a compilation of their earliest and latest studio recordings. At the Speed of Light or Day is the bands first full length album and a brilliant one at that. Incorporating everything from classical guitar to modern and math rock, this album is an absolute hidden gem. Some of the songs on this album are melodic and beautiful others technical and robotic and still some freeform and jammy, all without coming off as pretentious or manufactured. Vocals are also sometimes used throughout the album to accentuate certain segments of songs. Overall their music is innovative and inspiring and at times has reminded me of early 31 Knots (A Word is also a Picture of a Word) and late Don Caballero (American Don) with jam-band accentuations. Any enthusiast of indie/post/math/jam rock will be sure value this priceless hidden gem.

Excellent - but not at all like Soft Machine.......2004-06-23

Bought this albums because of the review below comparing this band to Soft Machine. While this is a superb math rock, in the vein of Don Caballero, Rumah Sakit, etc., there is no similarity between this and the supreme genius of the first three Soft Machine records.

If you like aggressive, instrumental rock music with a lot of layered arpeggios, get it, this is a great record.

these guys are stunning...........2002-07-18

thirty years ago i first heard the soft machine.
the 1st. 3 albums are great but in later releases they morphed more & more into jazz, losing their edge. what does this have to do with volta do mar? i never thought i'd see a band as original as the old soft machine until volta do mar came along. they are innovative & edgy at the same time.
you would think that a band with 2 bass players (5 string & 6 string) would be too bottom heavy, but the real genius of the band is the way the players trade musical phrases with the guitarist, often playing in the higher registers of the basses. to do this, of course, all players must be virtuosos & they are....
highly recommended.
& if you like volta check out soft machine I & II.

Like nothing you've seen........2002-07-06

If your able to hang with brainy music that knows no bounds (think Don Caballero with twice the bass, half the guitar, breakneck changes, and spare vocals from all members) then you'll love these guys, especially live.

amazing amazing amazing.......2002-06-22

This is one of the best albums I have ever come across, it matches elements of everything in my collection and a lot of stuff that I don't have the money to buy. From Sun Ra Orchestra, Phil Glass, Sea n Cake, et cetera. What a great record! I cant wait until they come back to Seattle I saw them at the Croc cafe and I was there with my roommate who wanted to see this other band but they couldn't hold a candle to Volta Do Mar!

Out With A Bang... Excellent!!.......2005-10-14

The boys went out with a bang on this final effort. This is now my favorite cd of theirs. Excellent track flow. My friend Lindsay and I would go to all of their shows in Indianapolis whenever they came through. Great and fun/funny guys ...and always an awesome show. To my friends from the windy city - Phil, Tony, Mike, and Jeff - I wish you all the best wherever you go from here. P.S. - I study drums at Berklee now in Boston and still sport my old, red VDM t-shirt.

I bought this album back when the band played a show in my hometown of Marengo, my friend took the band's spare tire, it was a good time. And as for the music, it was top notch, highly innovative instrumental music that put the crappy hardcore bands to shame that night.
