It’s been less than a fortnight that THE FUSION SYNDICATE‘s second album hit the shelves, a good decade after its predecessor, but November 3rd should see the issue of the third offering by this loose conglomerate of stellar musicians. Titled “Beautiful Horizon” and again produced by Fernando Perdomo, the fresh record is actually another part of “Speedway On Saturn’s Rings” as what was originally prepared for a single platter has been split in two for better consumption.
There’s an impressive line-up on this album, fleshed out with three bonus tracks from the project’s debut, with only FISHBONE’s Angelo Moore making a reappearance. But how come the ever-busy Perdomo took on such an intimidating task, given that he also penned the epic cuts on display?
“I’ve been a Seventies fusion freak all my life as a musician,” says Fernando. “When Brian Perera, the head of Cleopatra Records, approached me to make this album, it was a dream come true. I cant believe I got to work with so many legends on material I wrote! It’s really cool to bring back this sound!”
With artists like Robby Krieger and Jerry Goodman, it’s hard to go wrong, indeed.
