Think of Brett Michael Spunt (http://www.brettmichaelspunt.com) as a painter as well as musician. His instrumentals on Rebirth conjure vivid images of blue skies and wide-open oceans. They don't create moods as much as they do portraits, filling the brain with a vast array of colours and bright lights.
Opening the CD with sparkling keyboards on "The Mind of Spunt," you almost think that Spunt is about to shift into New Age territory until Lori Moran's disembodied vocals segues seamlessly into Spunt's scorching guitar riffs. It's a transcendent moment, a woman's lovely voice melting into Spunt's axe, which then explodes into dazzling, otherworldly soloing. It's utterly breathtaking.
Moran is a secret ingredient to Spunt's prog-rock recipe. Her honeyed voice brings warmth to the proceedings, especially on "Interplanetary Voyage," in which her dreamy vocals give an Ofra Haza vibe. On the flamenco-flavoured "Spanish Soulnata," Moran is completely radiant, taking Spunt's AOR leanings into world-music territory.
However, Spunt is never overshadowed. His phenomenal guitar playing explores various textures, producing an intellectual and emotional experience that doesn't need words to be fully appreciated. On earphones, Spunt's work is downright spectacular.

Multi-instrumentalist Brett Michael Spunt must’ve experienced a spiritual awakening prior to Rebirth. That would certainly explain the consciousness-expanding progressive rock on display here. Proving that an artist doesn’t require lyrics to plumb the depths of our intellect, Spunt journeys into the farthest regions of our mind, producing a series of pulsating, crisply-recorded soundtracks for the imagination.
Collaborating with breathy female vocalist Lori Moran on several memorable tracks (including the beautifully ethereal “Interplanetary Voyageâ€), Spunt lets his guitar do much of the “talking,†gripping our ears with stunning solos and bracing chord progressions. This is not pop music although Spunt does have a keen ear for melody.
It’s not all about the Riff, either. For example, “The Mind of Spunt†opens with cinematic synths. However, for the most part it is Spunt’s guitars that hog the spotlight, and his versatility impresses and seduces. Check out “Blues Jam†for a different side of Spunt, one that stretches beyond the Joe Satriani hero worship into a dirty midnight bop.
Thank you to Adam and Kyrby for taking the time to listen and write their reviews.
