The fifth album from this band from Japan.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, piano, keyboards and vocals.
This band is no doubts one of the finest/best melodic progressive rock bands ever to come out of Japan. Something they also proved on their fourth album, Ship from 2018. See my review from last week.
Ribbon Butterfly is a fifty-five minutes long album which again bring us some very elegant symphonic prog.
References here are Genesis, Pink Floyd and in particular ELP.
There are some sporadic vocals here and most of the album is instrumental. Instrumental with a lot of keyboards and guitar solos. The keyboards sound is the 1970s organ, moog and mellotron sound.
The quality of the song writing is pretty good. The stars here is the keyboards and guitars who adds a lot of extra quality to this album.
This is a band everyone into melodic symphonic prog should check out.
