Plackband - After the Battle (2002)

 

The one and only album from this band from The Netherlands.

The band was quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

This band was pretty active in the 1970s but did not release anything as they did not get a record deal and the underground scene was not particular big... or healthy enough to sustain self-released LPs. Hence, the band only album debuted a quarter of a century after their best days.

The band and this album has therefore got a semi-classical status. 

The music on this one hour long album is pretty similar to what Genesis did on Trick Of The Tail and that era.

The music is mid-tempo, mellow and pretty complex. It is also melodic and it has got a good ambience. 

The vocals are decent enough but the weakest link on this album. The other musicians does a great job though.

The sound is very good and is adding a lot of quality to this album.

The music is good throughout this album. Genesis and melodic symphonic prog fans should check out this album. It is a semi-classic album and I totally get why it has this status. A status it deserve.
