The debut album from this band from Portugal.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, synths and vocals.
This band has just released their second album. I hope to review that album later this year. In preparations for that, this is a review of their debut album.
The band's and ProgArchives claim that this is a symphonic prog album made me get this album. We can never get too much symphonic prog.
Hmm...
This album clocks in at one hour and one minute. The music is much more eclectic prog than symphonic prog.
For a start, the vocals are female vocals. The music here has got folk rock, jazz and art rock influences. There are a few symphonic prog influences too but this music is too esoteric to really be labeled symphonic prog.
The music is very, very complex and bold. Hence the esoteric tag this music deserves.
The guitars are also esoteric with some wild solos. They are also good....very good at places. The vocals is also very good.
I really want to give this album a good rating. There are some substandard pieces here I cannot ignore.
This is a very promising debut album and I hope their new album sees the band grow and writing better pieces of music. Check out this album.
2.5 points
