And I'd have to say Ethereal Evidence is some SICK Blood Sugar Sex Magic-esque stuff. Funkaaayyyyy

Ya I've been listening to Tristan for a little and honestly didn't think a lot previously as I felt he was searching for his own sound/voice (as we ALL are) for a while - but damn the sonic stylings that he's been approaching and honing closer and closer onto with 'Purple' is fabulous. Great potential and the album itself is nasty and reminiscent of some of my favorite bands (especially the Chili influence). Definite kudos to the clearly hard and deliberate work put into the EP. In one word, Groovin'.

For sure. If Tristan sounded too much like Peter Frampton, I definitely wouldn't give him such glowing reviews. Not that Peter Frampton is so bad, but like John Cusack's character in High Fidelity says when he first hears the girl from the Cosby Show, "is that Peter f**king Frampton?" with a disgusted look on his face. (But every music loving person should own his live album on vinyl - it's a requirement.)

Great review of Purple. I'm a romantic I guess so my favorite moment is in Love and a Question - Starts off Beach Boys Pet Sounds and slides into Boz Scagg dreamy funk and bridges into heaven with the vocal phrase "Do you feel like I feel?" without reminding one of Peter Frampton. :)
