| Amon Düül II were just one of those bands that I have had a huge addiction to my whole music life (well since I first heard them anyway) and “Tanz Der Lemminge” (Dance Of The Lemmings) represents my personal favourite album of theirs. This was the 3rd album released by the commune of frenzied cosmic voyagers and offers a true milestone in progressive-psychedelic rock. Sonically drawing parallels to the early-Pink Floyd space-folk vibe and mixing in elixirs of heavy folk-like inspired psychedelia. This album is really a dark and freaked out psychedelic mess of free-form songs that filter through many different genres and moods. Originally “Tanz” was released as a double vinyl album but has been carefully re-mastered by Grobschnitt’s Eroc and offers fantastic newly revamped sound reproduction. No fan of Krautrock can be without this recording and is absolutely 100% essential ! | |||
| Here is a great album that is solid from start to finish and has really caught my ear. This 3 piece Swedish band play progressive rock somewhere I suppose in the Saga school of thought. What immediately took me back was the powerful vocals of lead singer Mikael Askemur who has the award from me as the best new voice in rock ! When Askemur's voice is combined with the absolutely stunning guitar work of Larsson and the masterful drum strokes of Thuren you have something very special.....wow these guys came out of nowhere. "Different Ways" is a 12 song based album that seems to hit all moods and moves from ballad-like songs to all out high energy movers. Sonically this album kicks butt....lots of nice deep bass tones (will make your speakers vibrate) and offers great speaker definition. An absolutely essential album and what a debut for sure ! | |||
| 110% completely oil saturated mind blowing Kraut-Rock from these underground heavy weights from 1972. Produced by the legendary Dieter Dierks, Orange Peel offers everything an album from this genre should……crazy frenzied guitar work , heavy organ whisps and tons of nice heavy keys, mind altering music and instrumentation, with great drum and bass interplay all creating a true heavy psychedelic monster and IMHO one of the best albums from the 70’s Germany. Wow this album truly is one hell of a trip man………4 long exploratory tracks with tons of vintage keyboards creating a wonderful wall of sound which has been carefully re-mastered on CD by the folks at CMP Records. Krautrock fans need to not look any further nor find a more mind blowing album…..no Krautrock collection can be without this album ! | |||
| Cobham's "Spectrum" is pretty well the perfect fusion album and clearly one the milestone albums of the genre. Blending in elements of jazz, classic and progressive rock, latin and fusing them all together in one delirious stew of tones and rhythms. This music clearly defies genres and may be some of the most enduring fusion work ever , ranking IMHO right up there with the mighty "Mahavs" and Davis' "Bitches Brew". Cobham is supported on this album by a great cast including Jan Hammer, Tommy Bolin, Lee Sklar and Ray Barretto. This album was also masterfully recorded and on a good stereo will offer some very cool panning and full deep sound. Absolutely an essential album ! | |||
| Message were a mix of British and German musicians whose debut album “The Dawn Anew Is Coming” represents one of this music lovers favourite progressive rock recordings of 1972. Musically this album carries for me some allusions to that of Nektar I suspect mostly because of the presence of Taff Freeman and his mellotron on the album. This album carries a slight German underground vibe throughout with heavy rolling bass and drum overlayed with harmonic and clear guitar solos. Keyboards are used to mostly fill in the spaces and add atmospheres to the music. I love this albums characteristics and deep mood swings (even in mid flight) with some fantastic musical moments. If you were going to pick up one album this Christmas I would think this one would make the perfect present under the tree. | |||
| Embryo’s “Opal” is a pure Krautrock masterpiece and certainly one of the more influential albums too that contributed to the genre. Embryo’s band leader Christian Burchard (drummer/percussionist) was at the time hanging out with the AMON Düül commune of freaks who had a symbiotic influence on each others music. Also joining Burchard on this debut album was John Kelly the future guitarist for TEN YEARS AFTER who gets lots of opportunity to add his fine fret work. “Opal” is predominantly an instrumental album with few voices and lyrics. I love Edgar Hoffman huge electric-violin and sax work here which really brings home the fusion of jazz and psych elements that they were intending to explore. Best way to maybe describe this album would be to imagine a sax playing fusion-era Miles Davis aka BITCHES BREW, with a touch of CAN and Amon Duul II tossed into the equation. The album is a drastic fusion of rock, jazz, blues, soul and psychedelia and is a true milestone in the genre of psychedelic progressive rock. | |||
| So you love the hard edged boogie blues guitar driven 70’s rock then I suggest you sink your teeth into the music of early Cactus. The fine folks at Rhino have created a nice long play CD that houses most of the tracks from the first 3 albums. Cactus were ex-Vanilla Fudge members Tim Bogert (bass) and Carmine Appice (drums), Rusty Day on lead vocals (ex-Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes) along with band leader and guitarists Jim McCarty. Musically these guys were loud and rhythmic with soaring guitar solos overlayed on top of great bass and drum parts. I guess musically a bit of Cream and Led Zeppelin as influencers but mostly Cactus. Man…they just don’t make music like this anymore ! fantastic music ! | |||
| After a 3 year hiatus and the relative success of the bands first 2 albums, Toad reformed to write and record another fantastic guitar, blues driven rock album…this time with a more melodic 70’s vibe. Again the line-up was Vic Vergeat (Guitars, vocals) , Werner Froehlich (Bass and vocals) and Cosimo Lampis (drums). The good news is that there is still plenty of great tripped out guitar work with some nice groovin' bass and drum interplay. Arkarma Records CD release includes 2 bonus tracks including a great version of Hendrix's "Purple Haze". On "Dreams" Toad were expanding their sound which is evident in the occassional use of acoustic guitar, electric piano and mellotron. Songs on this album tend to focus slighly more on the melody than their early 2 albums with excellent vocal harmonies and great instrumentation. Overall a great album with tons of great guitar work for sure. | |||
| Mason Jones has been writing, collaborating and recording ambient music for a long while, yet his name is likely not all that well known. “Midnight In The Twilight Factory” is essentially four epic slow ambient tracks , two in studio and 2 live. The studio tracks were recorded live in the studio as improvised pieces without any editing . Both pieces are highly ethereal and represent 2 fantastic voyages into the outer limits of your mind. One of the live tracks was recorded at the Monterey Rock & Pop Festival in 1997 (Jason Stein on bass)and the other was recorded at the Edinburgh Castle in San Francisco in 1998 with Bill Horist on guitar and Kevin Goldsmith on electric cello. Musically there is a relationship to Fripp and Eno’s “No Pussyfooting” album with crystallized morphed guitar sounds giving the appearance of electronic keyboards (yet there are none). Clearly Mason Jones uses his guitar in ways very few have tried before and really uses it to create waves upon waves of dark symphonia. | |||
| Wobbler are pure and pure ear candy for this music lover and “Hinterland” is anything but a cold barren wasteland of songs! Imagine the aggression of White Willow, King Crimson and Anekdoten mixed with the gentleness of Änglagård and you are not far off the musical landscape this band live to tell. “Hinterland” sounds like a bit of the past and a bit of the present mixing majestic mellotron passages with heavier complex grinds. Wobbler are Lars Fredrik Frøislie (White Willow keyboards), Martin Nordrum Kneppen (drums), Kristian Karl Hultgren (bass, sax), Tony Johannessen (vocals) and Morten Andreas Eriksen (guitars). Sonically these guys move from dark mellotron moods to all out heavy King Crimson’ish rally points to gentle cascading Scandinavian folk like parts. The album is essentially 4 epic tracks which hit all the right buttons for me making this simply a grand album. | |||
| 'Lustwandel' is one of the best German electonic album to have come out of the 80’s era Roedelius. This 13 track album spans quite a wide range of styles, moods and keyboard/piano atmospheres. The opening number and title track is a 4:00 fantastic piano piece which is simply worth the entire price you will pay for the album ! I also love the 8:00 track “Langer Atem” which drips with a haunting 70’s Kraftwerk vibe. On “Lustwandel” , Roedelius had opted for an album that is as much piano as it is electronics which to some may offer less appeal. I am a fan of Cluster, Harmonia and the work he did with Eno and Plank (See my other reviews) and think this album is strong as well as a solo and worthy of mention as one of my picks. | |||
| Fresh and in the spirit of his highly exploratory work with Mile Davis and Co, John McLaughlin wrote Devotion mixing Jazz-Rock and Blues into a wild fusion fest. Also joining John on this album were Buddy Miles (Drums), Billy Rich (bass) who both jammed and also recorded with Jimi Hendrix and Larry Young (organ and electric piano). John's guitar playing on this album is just superb and some of his best work ever !. The interplay between all musicians is clearly heard here as both John and Larry clocked many hours together with the Tony Williams Lifetime and Miles Davis and clearly have a musical and spiritual feel for each other. Musically these guys move thru the ebb and tide of some pretty trippy and downright clever fusion. Devotion flows with grandeur and beauty and is a real gem for lovers of fusion prog! This album needs to be played also nice and loud. | |||
| In light of 1974’s release “Phaedra” which is considered by many and including this music lover as one of the most critical pieces of electronic music history, Rubycon deserves a close second…..very close. As always I am totally listening to this album as I review it and must say that it too is an unbelievable recording. 1975 line up was Edgar Froese (Mellotron, guitar, synths), Chris Franke (moog synths, organs, piano, assorted synths) and Peter Baumann (organ, assorted synths and pianos). The end result are 2 epic tracks that will you’re your mind into another dimension. Without a question this is the perfect headphone experience album and is a complete journey with swooping electronic landscapes, pulsating beats, deep analog hums and Pink Floyd’esque structures. Absolutely essential recording from Tangerine Dream and is still one of my most played electronic albums ! . | |||
| Captain Beyond’s debut album is something very special and one of those album that is just plain ol “gritty”, “crunchy” and wonderfully psychedelic. Captain Beyond were really kind of a “supergroup” with Iron Butterfly members Larry Reinhardt “Rhino” (Lead Guitar) and Lee Dorman (Bass) , Deep Purple’s Rod Evans (Lead Vocals) and Johnny Winter’s drummer Bobby Caldwell. The end product was one of my personal favourite album of 1972 and a definite pick for the ol’ desert island conversation. Without a question Captain Beyond’s debut album was clearly ahead of its time and although is 20+ years later bands like Porcupine Tree obviously heard this album! Overall the album hits many high points and covers a tremendously wide range of pieces …..hard rock, but not metal…..spacey but not too "druggy"…..acoustic without being too tranquil…..jazzy without being jazz ….. conceptual without being a "concept album" (although each song flows into the next). | |||
| It has been how long since we last heard from Kate ? Well lets just say that this wait was a tad bit too long but the end product is something very special. Aerial is a 2 CD set album that is really divided into 2 halves with the “A Sea Of Honey” representing her song based side and the second “A Sky Of Honey” taking on a more introspective personal feel. Kate has incorporated into her album a number of musicians to add their talents including Gary Brooker (Procol Harum) and Lol Crème (10CC). Aerial is a truly breath taking album full of spiritual and rhythmic prowess. Kate sounds as rich and deep as ever and there is just something truly emotional in her music and I feel this album is a real winner. Kate’s style and approach is 100% unique and deservedly needs to be included in this list of progressive artists. | |||
| I am sure that few would consider Wishbone Ash a “Progressive rock band” but there is one thing for certain and that is while their discography likely suggest they were anything but progressive, ARGUS is nothing but 100% Progressive ! For their 3rd album Wishbone Ash wrote and recorded a prog friendly masterpiece concept album. “Argus” features the classic line up of Andy Powell on guitars (Gibson Flying V) and vocals, Ted Turner on guitars (Fender Strat)and vocals, Martin Turner on bass and vocals and Steve Upton on drums. When both guitars get going and the band overlay their vocal harmonies and inventive multi sectioned arrangements you are in for a wonderful listen. In the past Argus has been slammed for its poor sound reproduction and now for the first time this classic prog album will hear the light of day with a totally re-vamped re-mastered version and sounds much much better. Included in this re-mastered and revisited version is the 3 song “Live In Memphis" EP which for the first time has been included. Interesting side note is that the success of “Argus” landed them the opening slot with The Who on their 1972 tour (source for the Live in Memphis EP!). Add into the fray the medieval concept artwork of Storm Thorgerson's classic Hipgnosis album covers and you have it all. | |||
| For those who love early German electronica will need to include Harmonia’s “Music Von Harmonia” in their collection. Harmonia was the genius of Michael Rother (Neu!), Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius whose seminal ground breaking album is simply essential (IMHO). This album has it all…….drifting electronic pulses, captivating guitar, space keys and percussion (of all forms) with an product somewhere in the early Kraftwerk - Cluster vein with bits and pieces of Neu ! tossed into the salad. The album is slow and steady and never gets to high keeping the listener deep into the moody foreboding atmospheres. Absolutely essential album. | |||
| Here is simply one of the most astonishing debut albums of the Krautrock scene. Phallus Dei is a pure psychedelic daydream hitting all the comic mind buttons that anyone could handle. The early Amon Düül II albums are all amazing but I think this one holds like “Dance Of The Lemmings” an extra special place in my heart…..and for good reason. Phallus Dei is a complete barrage of assorted percussion, acid laced guitars, duelling violins and that extra special cosmic experimentalism. Future Hawkwind bass player Dave Anderson is also featured on this album and adds some lovely bass riffs throughout. You must swing the Repertoire Remastered version as Grobschnitt’s Eroc has done a wonderful transfer and has added an additional 15 mins of the “Freak Out Requiem (parts 1 – 4) which is simply essential ! | |||
| I guess on my alltime top 20 Live albums Be Bop's Live !In The Air Age would definitely be right up there. I have never been the same since I heard "Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape" which is one of the great live prog rock recordings with Nelson's soaring guitar and utopic musical landscapes. In typical Be Bop fashion the album is a kind of a mix of prog, Glam, avant garde, punk and good old classic rock. Also love the synth work on this album and the fine mic'ing job they did back in 1977 capturing the energy of this orignal band. Pretty well an essential live album and one that just had all that magic a live album should. Perfect music ! | |||
| UFO 1 was released in 1970 and showcased on their debut album a heavy psychy blues inspired all out hard rock band to like it hard. The band line up at inception was vocalist Phil Mogg, bassist Pete Way, guitarist Mick Bolton, and drummer Andy Parker. Their overall sound was nothing like the later UFO and really delves deeps into the dark acid rock jams and sinister psychy vibe from the 60’s underground. Interesting to note that Grobschnitt’s Eroc re-mastered this album as well and obviously loves the early UFO years as well. | |||
| Someone once suggested that you can not find 1 house in all of Quebec that did not have at one time a Harmonium album inside. Although obviously not true the metaphor is…………..Harmonium were a very popular folk prog band inside Quebec (Canada) with both 'Harmonium' and 'Les Cinq Saisons' reaching platinum status in Quebec. This Montreal rock group consisted in its initial carnation of Serge Fiori (composer, guitar, flute), Michel Normandeau (vocals, guitar), and Louis Valois (bass, keyboards). HARMONIUM's debut is essentially a folk centric album full of great sounding acoustic guitar supported by bass and other instruments. The bass work on this album is fantastic as well as has always reminded me of Genesis' "Fountains of Salmacis". Of course the album is enriched with the French lyrics and vocals of Serge Fiori whose voice fits perfect with the instrumentation. | |||
| Tomas Bodin is of course the Keyboard wizard for Sweden’s symphonically fine tuned progressive rock band The Flower Kings. The big surprise for me was that there are no guitars on this album and yet is really rich in keyboards, bass and drums. This symphonically charged album is pure instrumental heaven featuring some great song writing, a huge arsenal of keyboards, heavy bass lines (Jonas Reingold) and wild drumming (Zoltan Csorsz). Bodin offers a nice range of tunes and themes and each song brings a fresh spin to it amking this album not feel like a 70 Mins keyboard workout. I really like this album and actually spin it quite a bit……the opening church organ piece is simply killer ! | |||
| Right from the “get-go” this album simply blew me away………otherworldly caressing vocals, tranquil instrumentation and a certain electronic vibe. Of course I am no stranger to either Steve Wilson (Porcupine Tree) or Tim Bowness (No Man) but I finally decided to hunt down “Speak” as I have really found a longevity in the music of No Man. Definitely one of those “acquired tastes” bands, but once you catch the vibe you will no be able to look back. Essentially No Man is the creativity of Steve Wilson and Tim Bowness who are in search of anything but fame. Truly an art rock attitude and just that certain strangeness and originality that we all love to hear in music. “Speak” offers some great loops and beats and some luscious guitar work all encased around the delicate vocals of Bowness who emotes to the listener throughout the album. Pretty well slow and laid back and very different than some of the earlier slightly more pro-dance stuff. I love this album. | |||
| Steve Thorne’s Imaginary Creatures is an album that unbelievably slipped past the world without a ton of recognition. Steve Thorne has written and recorded a great little album here that strikes a chord not unlike Steve Rothery did for me on his solo album “Carnival of Souls“. Imaginary Creatures is a delicate, mostly acoustic song based album with some memorable melodies and great instrumentation. At times this atmospheres and touches remind me of some of the more pastel aspects of the music of recent IQ. Steve Thorne has compiled quite a line up of prog friendly names to record this beauty including Mr. Tony Levin (stick, bass), IQ’s Paul Cook (drums), Asia’s Geoff Downes (keyboards), Rob Aubrey (bass pedals, loops), Spock Beard’s Nick D'Virgilio (drums), Jadis’ Steve Christy and Gary Chandler (drums & guitars), IQ’s John Jowitt and Martin Orford (bass / fretless bass and keyboards, flute, music box). Surprisingly with a line up like it is Steve Thorne who is the centre piece of this album and pretty well dominantly features his guitar and voice. In fact Thorne is a musicians musician and plays a ton of instruments (vocals, backing vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards, bass, electric guitars, pedals, percussion, programming, effects). Overall I suppose you would classify this neo-prog but please note that it is not cheesy nor prototypical of the tinny synth led neo prog… | |||
| The music of Klaus Schulze has always deeply intrigued me with “Timewind” representing one of the most important chapters in the history of electronic music (IMHO). Timewind is essentially two epic 30 min tracks which guarantee that by the end of the album you will be floating in space ! Both tracks are a memorizing journey of moogs, synths and wind like effects that will take you beyond today's existence and open your mind to things you could not have imagined. Actually in many ways Timewind reminds me in color and aperture of the early Jean-Michel Jarre album “Oxygene” which is also one of my fav’s. Simply essential ! | |||
| 3 piece Mexican hard rock band who blend progressive learnings with some more traditional Mexican vibes. In many ways these guys carry that deep Uriah Heep / UFO (early albums) prowess with a heavy amount of fuzz guitar. The beauty in this album is the El Paso'esque vibe that runs thru this album and although a hard mexi-rock album does branch into some psychy segments. Vocals are quite good as well and full of rockin harmonies. Not the kind of album you want to wake up to Sunday morning but perfect for siesta time ! | |||
| This unassuming little album is pure magic delivering some lovely tripped out cosmic folk music. This was Witthuser + Westrupp’s second release and is really hard to exactly peg but best parallel may be to imagine a more folky and slower moving Ash Ra Temple. In their day they were know to their fans as the “Cosmic Buskers” and built up quite a strong following. Trips + TrÄume is a very relaxed album and pretty well works on a cosmic folk acoustic base offering some great guitar and keyboard work. Vocals are sung in native German and suit the music quite well. Overall a superb bit of cosmic folk ! | |||
| Murple unfortunately only released one album titled (I Am Murple) which stands out as a superb piece of 70’s Italian Progressive Rock. Centred around the symphonic keyboard and piano work of Pier Carlo Zanco this album blends all of the progressive rock characteristics that made this such a beloved region for this art rock genre. Comprised of just two lengthy tracks (side one and side two) Io Sono Murple draws on the classic 70’s Ital-prog vibes with gorgeous piano and synthesizer work mixed with fantastic guitar, bass and drum interplay. The 2 songs are both drop dead fantastic and contains the romanticism of “I pooh” and Locanda Delle Fate with the musical prowess PFM. Lyrics are sung in Italian and fit the music nicely. Io Sono Murple is also a concept album and tells the tale of a penguin that leaves his home in Antarctica, and encounters the Evil Man. Overall a fantastic album from start to finish. | |||
| It really took me all these years to warm up to the music of mid Hawkwind MK II (First Hawkwind album is still one of my favourite psychedelic albums of all time) and I owe it all to my friend Bob Turnbull who had been at work on me on the music of Hawkwind. A long story but years ago I snagged a best of 70’s collection and thought Hawkwind sounded on these samples terrible and not very captivating and I never really looked back. I finally listened to a full side of “Hall Of The Mountain Grill” and really enjoyed it so I bought it. And the result is…….(drum roll please)…mikey likes it ! What amazed me immediately was the delicate inclusion of some lovely mellotron work, varied instrumentation (including lovely space electric violin) and kind space effects. The album is spacey yet ebbs and flows from tranquil droplets "Wind of Change" and “Web Weaver” to the heavy rockout of “The Psychedelic Warloads”. Of course at this junction Hawkwind had Lemmy, but they also added ex-High Tidesman Simon House into the equation who added in quite a new dimension to their sound. A great album from start to finish for sure | |||
| So here may be the ultimate concept album………a 5 album planned production devoted to telling the entire story of a burned out Kerouac-like rock star A. Nexter Niode. Part One of this evolving rock odyssey “Off The Path” establishes a full and original wall of sound right from the opening aggressive number “Force Of Nature” to the symphonic last track “Sanctuary”. House Of Not is the Brain child of Brian Erikson who has been translating the unfinished and aborted musical and lyrical memoirs of an allusive character named A. Nexter Niode. Although I love concept albums by nature, it is clearly their music and deep musical conviction that has captivated me here. House Of Not blend and borrow elements from a number of other musical influences and have machinated them into a well written and recorded debut album that truly defies categorization. For me the most noticeable musical influence is that of Roger Water (especially with Erikson’s baritone and talking-singing style) emoting at times a sort of allusion to the themes achieved on “Pro’s and Con’s Of Hitchhiking”. Also some lovely symphonic keyboards and Gilmour’esque guitar work. Overall and excellent album and I will be anxious to hear the rest of Nexter’s journey. | |||
| Ex-Almenda offshoot project whose first album here in review may be one of the greatest Argentinena albums of all time. Psychedelic guitar put to some wonderful space backdrops reminding me of the atmospheres captured on the early Pink Floyd albums. Killer album for sure. | |||
| Starcastle.....either you love em' or you hate em'.....IMHO once you get over the YES factor the music is superb. "Fountains" is essentially 2 epic tracks made of each 3 sub songs. As you would expect lots of vintage 70's keyboards and that special higher octave and harmonies that Yes achieved. I really think this is a great album and deserves to be in your collections kids ! | |||
| 1976/1977 was a productive year for Starcastle iin that they released 2 albums in the same year. Citadel continues their exploration into the symphonic land of progressive rock. As always the album is pitted in high vocal harmonies and tons of keyboard work reminiscent of YES. | |||
| Ping Pong’s second album was way far ahead of its time and was one of the true influential albums of the Ital-prog 70’s scene. Like PFM…Ping Pong blended jazz , fusion and symphonic progressive rock into 1 loot bag and achieved here stirring results. Probably one of my personal favourite albums as well from the early 70’s Italy. Musically this 6 piece blend the symphonic prowess of La Bottega Delle Arte with the jazz subtleties achieved by PFM. Some great violin and vintage analog keyboard work throughout as well. This is one of my Sunday mornings wake up albums. Hate to say it but pretty well an essential album for anyone into 70’s Italian progressive art rock. Absolutely essential ! . | |||
| Riccardo Coccainte’s 1972 symphonic masterpiece “MU” is one amazing album for sure! Coccainte’s deep song writing and emotive vocals combined with the symphonic arsenal of Paolo Rustichelli (Synthesizers, Mellotron) , Joel Vandroogenbroeck and himself on the piano, synths, clavinet and moog takes centre stage. The moods are soft and spacey with tons of 70’s classic analog synth vibes throughout. This is also a great headphone experience album. | |||
| On the latest BMG Re-mastered version of “Amore E Non Amore” the outside of the CD sticker captured a perfect review of the album so I would like to quote “Considered one of the greatest Italian songwriters for his ability to reach the primal core of emotional matters. Battisti made this much adored cult masterpiece in 1971. Imagine Brazilian psych-pop combo Os Mutantes fronted by Southern Soul legend James Carr…” Musically this album does strike a chord in my emotions and plays like a reel from ones life. I have always loved the music of Battisti and found he had the ability to really draw me into this music. “Amore E Non Amore” is just one of those albums you have to hear. I would highly recommend you snag the freshly re-mastered version on Water Records (San Francisco) which offers an improved and fantastic sound quality as well to put a new shine on this masterpiece. | |||
| Debut album released in 1971 and represents a spiritual cross of both deep soulful slightly psychedelic and heavily progressive genres. Vocals are full of emotion and sound fitting…. matching the dramatic intensity of the music I Nomadi create. I snagged the re-mastered EMI version and must admit that it sounds pretty clean and offers a nice wide range of tones. Musically, I Nomadi blend psychedelic frequencies with progressive waves and deliver a nice wide range of emotions from heavy guitar laden jams to softer symphonic passages. I love this album from start to finish…..they don’t make albums like this anymore!!! | |||
