ZEN CARNIVAL - INHERITANCE - 1999

The Zen Carnival vision is that of a musical amoeboid science project on a very long voyage, surfing the mediawaves looking for cool musical forms to gobble up and call their own. Their very original music is collectively written by the members as a group and distilled by constant experimentation and variation. Strong instrumental voices from the keys, guitar, and bass balance thoughtful lyrics and clever, happening melodies. So what does Zen Carnival sound like anyway? Atmospheric. Lyrical. Majestic. Heavy. Electric Music. All rolled up into one cool musical tortilla. Zen Carnival's material captures the mystical atmosphere found in the wonderful music of Genesis, Yes, Rush, and Pink Floyd, but with a modern sound that incorporates elements of grunge, techno, avant-garde, and 20th century classical music.
