(World Fusion) Fareed Haque + The Flat Earth Ensemble - Flat Planet - 2008, FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

While there’s no doubting Haque’s instrumental abilities, Flat Planet is no mere chops display. Throughout the eleven tracks Haque focuses firmly on compositional value. Each arrangement is balanced by complex ethnocentric harmonics and flavorful melodies, where pre-constructed exposition provides plenty of group and individual improvisation. Haque’s songwriting vision is effectively exhibited on multi-tiered conception “The Four Corners Suite”: three parts (“North,” “South” and “West”) are included on the compact disc, while “East” can be downloaded online at most major MP3 sites. The opus has a Greg Osby-esque unpredictability. “North” is a prog/fusion feast that evokes The Mahavishnu Orchestra and some of the Tony Williams’ Lifetime late sixties material. “South” also has a heavy-rock velocity that could be rough on sensitive ears. The “Four Corners Suite” finishes with “West,” an easygoing escapade that is the album’s balmiest affair and gives the 76-minute undertaking a positively heady end. On Flat Planet, Fareed Haque and the Flat Earth Ensemble furnish an exhilarating song collection of pan-ethnic elements brimming over with entwined instrumental prowess, democratic interplay, and abundantly engaging music. ~ Doug Simpson, Audiophile Audition
