The 11th album from this band from Germany.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This is their comeback studio album after a twelve years long break. Yes, yes... The band released the Berliner Ring album in 2001. That was a stop-gap studio leftovers album from sessions going back to the 1970s. See my review of that album.
Through is a fifty minutes long album and the music is fusion. There are some minor funk and krautrock influences here too.
The band sounds very refreshed on this album. The music is positive and elegant. This is indeed sunny music and perfect for a sunny day in June... but it is raining here tonight. Still...
The sound is excellent and the vocals is good. The guitars are great and the keyboards is adding a lot to this album too.
The fusion here is very elegant. It is also pretty complex, besides of being melodic. The vocals also gives the music some good teeth. The vocals reminds me a lot about The Tangent. There are indeed some good The Tangent references on this album.... although this album was released before The Tangent album debuted.
The result is a very good album and one of their best ever albums. I am impressed, indeed.
3.5 points
