Album Description

One of the foremost drummers of rock and contemporary instrumental music, Michael Shrieve, has produced an innovative and electrifying sound in Transfer Station Blue. This album is a compelling fusion of rhythm and melody. The pieces synchronize the electronic smoothness of synthesizers and guitars with the driving beat of Shrieve's drums, producing a masterpiece of vibrancy and excitement.

Contributing to the unique sound of the album are Kevin Shrieve on guitar and Klaus Schulze playing the synthesizers. Their exceptional talents blend with the latest technology to create a dynamic, spell-binding album. On Transfer Station Blue, Michael Shrieve produces fully orchestrated music using electronic drum pads and digital sampling. Now, lovers of percussion music can hear a melodic as well as a rhythmic voice.

From RichardatOxford........2007-01-17

Track 1 - A crescendo track; but at 13mins,won't get far enough for some.This is fine by me: Tangerine Dream were a bit like that (Shulze).Shrieve adds latin based,spontaneity,to dreamscape synths that are musical,not merely loops.Your player must be good enough to pick up the synths,amongst the [otherwise repetitive] percussion.
Track 2 - Shulzes baby of 5mins.More involved.In classical terms,strings held,with the Hammond organ breaking through....and the odd,synthed,rocket take off.
Track 3 - Is Track 1,again,with tablas; and with the synthesizers geared to the rhythm,not smooth.Moving into a Tom Scott section (TV program intro music; but with a guitar,not a sax).Moving back to earlier in the track: then the second section,again.Very good.12mins.
Track 4 - Is built around the guitar,that can be heard in the sample.Less dreamscape,more melody,with the synths.7mins.The mileage gained is from the play of guitar chords,which,in its total journey,must have a musical term to describe it.A very complete track.

Note the CD is only 37mins long.

I'm fussy.I'm keeping this.

good album for Michael Schrieve/Santana fans.......2002-08-23

I like this album basically for the 'View From A Window' track. It is a tranquil progressive piece that is reminiscent of Tangerine Dream 'Cloudburst Flight' from Force Majeure. The acoustic guitar and synthesizer weave a very relaxing vibe. The title track 'Transfer Station Blue' has a disco feel to it like some late-70s Santana tunes. 'Nucleotide' is a drum-based track that would likely please any Michael Schrieve fan.

Nothing else like it!.......2000-05-01

I got the tape of Transfer Station Blue about 10 years ago and I have listened to it dozens of times, but I still find new sonics in it. It is one of my all time favorite pieces of music. Trouble is, you can't listen to it as background music, you have to just close your eyes and let this marvellous sound roll over you. Does anyone know if he has written anything else like this?

Great stuff!.......1999-02-06

Anyone know where I can get a CD version of Shrieve's early '80's project, Novo Combo? If yes, email me please.

Any Santana fan will love this masterpiece of percussion.......1998-11-04

The first track, is a 13:00 min. masterpiece. Especially when your driving or relaxing at home. Transfer Station Blue makes you feel as if you are travelling in a different parallel. If you are a Sherieve fan like I am check out Abraxas Pool, or Santana Welcome. All are well worth the time to check out. Abraxas Pool and Santana Welcome are probably the most underated works done in the last 25 years. Can't wait for Michael Shrieve's next project. If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks Ike.

Not like vis a vis but not a bad album.......2007-02-15

If you prefer the guitar on vis a vis this album isnt for you. Bryson had left the band before this was recorded and his absence shows. Even so this has a few catchy tunes on it. Gotta feel your love, lightning and fooled again are very catchy. This CD has a dance feel to it but its not bad. I just wonder what might have happened if Bryson stayed.
