The second album from this band from Finland.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, chapman stick, cello, keyboards, programming and vocals.
The band returned two years after the release of their not so impressive debut album Arabesque. I reviewed that album last month and was not impressed by it's substandard eclectic instrumental music.
Unique is a fifty minutes long album. The music is a blend between symphonic prog and cinematic rock. There are also some folk rock influences here.
The vocals, which are good vocals, are wordless and function as an instrument.
The music is most of all bold and epic with a lot of keyboards and guitars. There are indeed a lot ELP references scattered around on this album.
The result is a good album that should interest symphonic prog fans a lot. Check it out.
