Pandora review:


Track 10 ‘Lucky Day’ on this high concept album captures the theme of Steve Bonino’s PANDORA; a box purchased at a swap meet in a small town turns out to be the Pandora’s box of ancient Greek Myth.


 The Steve Bonino Project explore this concept through the eleven songs and showcases his considerable talents as a musician, lyricist, and performer. Its like a Tarantino movie that cleverly spins the songs and narratives around the middle at track 7; ‘Origin story’ before taking the listener on Pandora’s journey and her mythology with Bonino and his considerable ensemble of musicians. 


And he’s as much of a composer as a musician; he explores the musical motifs in the way King Crimson or Tangerine Dream would. But in the tight 3-minute format, the songs are tight, well thought out with dedication to time and feel. Tracks such as ‘Do you believe’ a funk / soul groove that captures the uniquely American gospel scene (with some serious bass playing and clean guitar riff) and ‘Gods and men’ examine the human condition, religion, rites, and myth. 


The production this album is crisp, and polished and how it is constructed is that yes, you dip in and out of it playing each track individually, but the story and music is best enjoyed in one sitting. I have followed Steve for nearly a decade now and what separates him from most musicians is the detail he puts into his work, his lyrics. Its not just music – as a guitarist he’s as good as Fripp, Metheney and Howe, even down to the acoustic work. His work is always a superb listen; he challenges you; he entertains you, but above all, he doesn’t short-change you.


 He gets better and better with every album he produces; he doesn’t waste your time. Its hard to pick out the best tracks, but for me; ‘Gods and men’, the Gabriel infused ‘Pipes of pan’, ‘To Pandora’ and ‘Do you believe’ stand head and shoulders above the rest. They are tracks by a man on top of his game. 


I am grateful to him for sending me the final cut of the album which is due for release 06.17.22 on all the usual platforms and it is well worth your investment and time. Opening this box, won’t give you any pain, sorrow, and grief. 

Only joy.
