Attention Deficit
Attention Deficit
The Story
On The Idiot King, Michael Manring, Tim Alexander and Alex Skolnick build on the foundation of their debut, 1998's ""Attention Deficit"", bringing a level of maturity into the songwriting on this sophomore release. Each has brought with him the experience of working on other projects; Michael Manring's constant solo touring, Alex Skolnick's new found interest in pursuing more jazz and fusion in his new home of New York City, and Tim Alexander's continued explorations into rhythm. The feel of The Idiot King rings like an updated version of those great Italian horror soundtracks of the seventies. Intense, atmospheric bass and guitar over the shifting backbeat of drums. Recalling an era of experimentation, when the boundaries between jazz and rock didn't really matter.
