23. Gary Moore / A Different Beat. 1999. 2/5

Let's face it. I listen to Gary Moore for his rock, which he basically stopped releasing after 1990. Since then, it has been blues, or versions of the blues, that he has concentrated on.

This album was actually a little experimental, using what I guess could be call fusion blues, along with elements of sampling and rap along with it.
Overall, and as a concept, it has its merit. Gary Moore has never been afraid to try different things or approach things from a different angle, and this is what he does on this album.

In the overall scheme of things, however, if you are not a fan of the blues, then you won't get a lot from this album. And that's pretty much where I stand.

Rating : There are interesting concepts involved here, but it doesn't really grab me. 2/5.
