Being honest, the vast majority of studio work from bands in the jam sphere are pretty weak, a pale (if totally earnest) shadow of their live mojo. But, there are happy exceptions like Perfect World (released February 23), a well executed, emotionally honest modern rock set with tendrils into jazz-fusion, electronica, pop and the early '70s art-rock of Deep Purple and Yes. Everything about this album speaks to a smiling engagement with the material and determination to make it live in a way that's different than the stage.
Glide Magazine has published a review of the new CD, Perfect World from U-Melt. Click here to read the review.
Don’t mistake Future Rock for a bunch of geeks. With their instruments in hand, the trio–Felix Moreno on bass, Mickey Kellerman on keyboards and Darren Heitz on drums–deliver nearly an entirely live electronic performance while maintaining a song-centric aesthetic to keep the dancefloor in-step. Here they have weave spiraling synth lines with claps for a chimerical remix of Neon Indian.

U-Melt is classified by iTunes as rock but they are so much more than that. Combining typical guitar rifts and electronica/.techno beats to create something unique and interesting, U-Melt is a much welcomed addition to my musical collection. Perfect World is a fantastic musical experience worthy of all to listen.
