Zee tried to find his Identity

The album Identity by Zee was released in 1984 by Rick Wright and featured Dave Harris. It had nine songs, most of which I liked.

This is not the type of music I would normally choose, especially as it is over 35 years old. With its beats and rhythms, it immediately reminded me of the styles from the 80s.

I can see why it’s a controversial album, with its strange tones and sometimes off-beat path from vocals. It has a very vapory, wave feeling overall. It is, essentially, an early attempt at techno rock.

While I like most of its songs, some just feel a little distorted and strange, partially because it was a short-lived side project by Wright, who later stated that it was a failed experiment.
