The next year, the 2004 Red Sox became the first team in baseball history to overcome a 3-0 hole when they did so against the Yankees in the ALCS, before winning the World Series.Ĭould it happen again in the same city? It seems highly unlikely, but it did for the Red Sox, too, after they lost 19-8 in Game 3. Only three teams in NBA history have even forced a Game 7 after falling behind 3-0, the last being the 2003 Blazers.
The odds are certainly long, even longer considering how broken, irreparable and hopeless the Celtics looked in Sunday’s humiliation. One of four teams that are still kicking.” I think I saw the other day, 0-149 or something like that.
CONJURE ONE SERIES
No team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit to advance, the situation the C’s find themselves in heading into Tuesday night’s Game 4. The Celtics had just lost a disgraceful Game 3 to the Heat on Sunday night, and the veteran was doing his best to conjure up belief. Mixing ambient atmospheres with fractions of electronica and shades of breaks & progressive, once heard, the evocations of Conjure One’s fifth longplayer will not soon be forgotten.MIAMI - Al Horford already knew the number off the top of his head. In similar style, Leah Randi contributes her vocal tones to the majestic ‘Flood Tide’, whilethe album’s glacially paced and cinematically styled title track dénouement gives ‘Innovation Zero’ its perfect swansong. ‘Abkhazia’ dreamily loops an eastern harmony over its downtempo breaks – becoming nothing less than hypnotic over its runtime. In its latter stages, the album travels on to more instrumental pastures.
At ‘Innovation Zero’s midpoint, she wrestles hope from despair with ‘I Don’t Want To Go There’. Conversely, ‘Hide’ and ‘Wheels Come Off’ wear their life-worn experiences high up on their sleeve.Īfter ‘Animals’, the extraordinary range of Jaren’s instantly recognisable and much-loved voice makes a second appearance. ‘Signs of Life’ and ‘Future Sight’ ably balance crystal clear lyrical lines with more opaquely metaphorical ones – seeding a curious sense of optimism into its tonal melancholia. Across its number, the UK-born/US-based singer haunts up a storm on no less than five of its tracks. Throughout, Jeza demonstrably proves to be a vocal muse for Rhys. Between the mellow and measured drama of the Jaren sung ‘Animals’ and Jeza’s spine-tingling linger on ‘Wolves at the Door’, the vocalists cast the shadows long over ‘Innovation Zero’.
Reasonably enough, the album opens with its first two singles. With joined-up lyric writing from a small but dedicated cohort of vocalists, and technique, style & production system beyond measure, the thinking person’s music maker has done it again. With next to no regard for clubfloors and a focus dialled into sumptuous mood & sonic tapestry, the Fulber you knew then is very much the one you have today.Īcross ten atmospherically-charged numbers, Conjure One places mood, ambiance and character before all else. While ‘Innovation Zero’s title is somewhat ironically self-deprecating, what cannot be denied is that Rhys found his niche in the downtempo arts. Through LP milestones like ‘Extraordinary Ways’, ‘Exilarch’ & ‘Holoscenic’, every five years or so he’s given discerning electronic music lovers something to listen to… and plenty to immerse in. Since, his longplayers under the name have been near clockwork in their timing and consistency. 2022 marks two decades since Rhys Fulber took his studio life beyond the realms of Delerium, with the self-titled LP, ‘Conjure One’.
