08 ) SAW (9:28) by Nick Maclean

Solos by Nick Maclean - synth & rhodes + talkbox

Saw starts with a nasty synth-talkbox patch that sets up an equally beastly, greasy groove all floating in a sea of sounds seemingly snatched from the Predator movie franchise. As with much of Maclean’s music, seemingly irreconcilable influences vie for
attention, from heavy, Zeppelinesque rock riffery to gentle jazz-funk, with hints of Radiohead and the Brian Blade Fellowship Band sprinkled in for good measure, all stitched together in a seamless, somehow inevitable way. The melody shifts from understated to effervescent to brash and bluesy before winding down to the start of
Maclean's big solo showcase. An unaccompanied visceral rhodes-talkbox interlude evolves into a blistering, extended improvisation backed by a rhythm section which sizzles with vitality. The tune wraps, as any grand saga would, with a monumental final proclamation befitting any modern Space Opera.
