Album Review - Plasma

Last year, after 18 years as the guitarist, vocalist and frontman for Phish, one of the most important and influential bands of the past two decades, Trey Anastasio released his self-titled solo debut album. The album received remarkable critical acclaim, and the ambitious tour that followed, featuring a mighty ten piece band, was an unqualified triumph. The spontaneity and spirit of Trey's tour is captured in all its joyous, free-wheeling glory on Plasma, a two-CD set featuring over two hours of music. Much more than just another live album, Plasma includes seven previously unreleased tracks, making it an essential release for fans of Trey and Phish alike. From sinewy funk to thunderous big band assaults to structured improv, Plasma showcases the inspired moments that erupt when talented musicians are cooking up a storm.
