SIX SIGMA ARE AN AMERICAN GROUP IN THE CLASSIC POWER TRIO FORMATION WHERE WE FOUND THE EX DRAG PACK (SUPERB GROUP EMULOUS OF THE LOUDER AND MORE DISTORTED BLUE CHEER) DOUG TIMMS TO THE GUITAR/VOICE ACCOMPANIED BY SCOTT MARGOLIN (BASS) AND MAPPY (DRUMS) THIS EP ENTITLED "THE SPIRIT IS GONE" TAKE THEM QUICKLY TO THE LIMELIGHT, THANKS TO THE COMPOSITIONS CONTAINED HERE; THE GROUP'S STYLE IS NEAR TO NEBULA BUT WITH GREAT SPACED ACCENTS AND A MORE MARKED STONER'S INCLINATION THAN HARD ROCK. PROOF ARE SONGS LIKE "DROPPING ANCHOR" THAT IS A SPECTACULAR SONG THAT BEGIN WITH A PERCUSSIVE CARPET OVER THERE INSERT A SPLEDID WAH-WAH GUITAR WHICH RIFF BECOME MORE AND MORE DILATATED WHILE THE TIME PASS CREATING A STONED ATMOSPHERE A LA FU MANCHU WITH A MORE PSYCHEDELIC GUITAR WHILE "MAGIC FLOW" IS ANOTHER TIME DOMINATED BY THE SPLENDID DOUG WAH-WAH'S GUITAR THAT CREATES AN ACID-SPACED ATMOSPHERE THAT TO ME SEEMS A CROSSING BETWEEN FU MANCHU AND MONSTER MAGNET; INCREDIBLE ARE THE TRIPPY SOLOS THAT FLAVOUR THIS SONG. THE TITLE-TRACK IS A DISTORTED HARD-ROCK WITH A BLUESY GUITAR THAT REMAINS THE MAIN PROTAGONIST, THE TRACKS REMINDS CLOSE 70'S HARD-BLUES SACRED MONSTERS, OVERALL GROUNDHOGS WHILE "THE PROBLEM-CURSED 100 BABY" IS A LONG (OVER 10 MINUTES) STONER DISTORTED SONG. THE MCD IS CLOSED BY "PHANTOM ZONE" THAT IS A LONG DILATATED AND SMOKEY SONG FULL OF REVERBERATIONS AND SPACED EFFECTS COMPLETELY INSTRUMENTAL AND THAT HAS A GREAT INTERMEZZO IN HAWKWIND STYLE DOMINATED BY GREAT EFFECTS; THE SADNESS FOR THE LOSS OF A GREAT GROUP LIKE DRAG PACK IS NOW ALLEVIATED BY THE CERTAIN TO HAVE FOUND A WORTHY SUBSTITUTE...
