Dr.
Fink
Ultrasound
By Steven Fullwood
Keyboard
maestro Dr. Fink, formerly of The Revolution, has made an appointment
for you to check out his debut album, Ultrasound, a funky, spacey
excursion into the realm of sound that's meant to delight, relieve and
finally heal the effects of contemporary pop music drivel.

And it does. Ultrasound is the product
of a musician's musician. The 11-tracks that comprise Ultrasound do
more than get the pulse racing; they move the feet as well. On the
title track, the good doctor is all over the keyboard, dropping loopy
sounds between snappy beats while "Ecstasy" takes the ear on
a sonic ride that manages to be both simultaneously futuristic and old
school. By the time "Nobody Cried" hits you, the keys take a
backseat to rock guitar and Dr. Fink's voice; he sounds a bit like the
guy from Jamiroquai. While the bouncy "Nothing But a Smile"
makes you snap your fingers, the melodic "Night Flight"
relaxes your head.

Of the instrumentals
"Nebulosity," "Sonic Rave" and "Almost
Funky" are wonderful. "Nebulosity" has a nice murky
feel while "Sonic Rave" and Cyber Monkey" beg to be
remixed for the club because they're excellent. The album culminates
with the blazing "Almost Funky," a part two of sorts to the
title track, which is fitting. With Ultrasound, Dr. Fink resurrects
the notion of listening to music for the fun of it. It is a fine
beginning to what appears to be an abundant solo career. M
