Time Control is a studio album by Hiromi UeharaâÂÂs group, HiromiâÂÂs Sonicbloom. ItâÂÂs a concept album centered on the idea of time. In addition to HiromiâÂÂs original trio, the album features guitarist David "Fuze" Fiuczynski whose technique and tonal approach gives the album its characteristic sound.
C. Mishael Blayly of All About Jazz wrote "On Time Control, the pianist largely restricts herself to the acoustic piano, giving the recording a firmly grounded tradition while her approach to the 88, coupled with Fiuczynski's guitar playing, hurl the music into hyperspace. The pianist's classical training is readily evident... Her chordal modulation is breathtaking in its virtuosity."
Bill Meredith of JazzTimes commented "Japanese keyboardist Hiromi UeharaâÂÂs 2003 CD, Another Mind, was the kind of stunning, unpredictable debut that left no room for anything but the sophomore slump of 2004âÂÂs comparatively predictable Brain. Last yearâÂÂs Spiral inched closer to her stratospheric first impression, but Hiromi officially gets her groove back with Time Control, thanks in part to guest guitarist David âÂÂFuzeâ Fiuczynski of the Screaming Headless Torsos."
