"Like, wow, man!".. -random stoner (Feb. 2010) .. (from November 2008 press release): .. ..Pablo Emerges From Five Year Studio Rehab With Entire Album Of New Material .. .. Tripsville, California, USA - .. “I cannot be responsible for the consequences of people listening to this music straight,”advises Pablo, regarding the release of his mind-bending new album, ..Take Two. ..Pablo is really the alter-ego project of Paul Thomas, ..Spellbound’s ..composer/instrumentalist/producer. With the addition of a few talented friends on some pieces, Thomas handles all of the instruments himself. Five years after his self-titled debut, Pablo has returned with 16 tracks of “sugar-coated insanity” for the public’s listening pleasure. Though fans of Spellbound’s funky tropical grooves will find some familiar ground here, for the most part, Pablo’s “Take Two” is a sharp detour from his band’s material. Much of the album is instrumental, with smatterings of vocals from Thomas and guests Bobby Moon (Spellbound) and Danielle DeCosmo of Florida psych-rockers The Day. “My aim was simply to create a psychedelic masterpiece,” states Thomas. “I’ve paid my dues and also realized I’ve ‘experimented’ as much as any of those guys that have achieved legendary status for their indulgences. Take Two is my Madcap Laughs, my Oar (Thomas is referring to the lysergic solo albums by Pink Floyd’s Syd Barrett and Moby Grape’s Skip Spence, respectively). Asked if he’s concerned that the substance intake might have similar detrimental effects on his psyche as they did with the aforementioned artists, he insists, “ No I’m able to hanvwysuxjhdplnxxxnd jskiopernvc dkl jkjk lkjdf eioumzzmmrfffzzzzzzzzzzzz.” Certainly, Take Two is a more ambitious and sprawling work than Pablo’s eponymous debut CD that appeared in 2003. There are snippets of sonic weirdness (Alien Interlude) mixed in with fairly standard song formats (If You Would), making for a psychedelic pastiche of sorts. Take Two is a fairly singular experience, yet close inspection reveals similarities with the work of Todd Rundgren, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, and Brian Eno. Composing all of the music, with the sole exception of The Drum ( by ‘70s cult band Slapp Happy), Thomas practically lived in the studio for the months of recording the album. Learning how to run the new ProTools recording equipment along the way was a challenge: “Having to engineer and perform most of it by myself took some getting used to, but also provided some interesting moments and allowed me to capture those fleeting inspirations when they arrived.” So Pablo’s ..Take Two ..is finally here, five years in the making, at the cost of untold numbers of brain cells, for the public to scrutinize and/or party with. ‘Thanks a lot everyone...see you next millenium!" .. ..Click here for NEW PABLO CD TAKE TWO.. .. ..Click here for Pablo's debut album....
