Monkey3 - Monkey3 (2003)

 

The debut album from this band from Switzerland.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and samples.

This band is a new discovery to me. I will over the next weeks and months review their seven albums, starting with this album. 

Their music is heavy prog. Instrumental heavy prog on this one hour long album.

The music is muscular and very heavy at times. It has also got a great deal of fusion influences too.

The music is electric guitars driven with a lot of riffs and other short themes. 

The band does a good job on some not so great or even good music.

The band has yet to master the art of writing enough good material for a one hour long album.

That said, this is an acceptable debut album which has raised my hopes for the remaining six albums.
