| Released under the name of Joe
Deninzon, this album is by the same group who
released Electric
Blue under the moniker of Stratospheerius. The group
of musicians on the album are Deninzon
(who quite capably handles multiple duties, the most
prominent of which are violin and vocals), Scott
Chasolen, Grisha Alexiev, Rufus Philpot, DJ Big Wiz, and
guitarist Alex
Skolnick (Attention
Deficit, Testament).
In Adventures in the Stratospheerius, they have produced
a very intriguing album that combines some quite
disparate musical styles. The group's music includes
elements of fusion, jam rock, and even down-home
hoe-down Southern rock. While that combination sounds
pretty odd on paper, it really makes for an exciting
album and a great listening experience. ~ Gary Hill, All
