Proportions - Conundrum (2023)

 

The fifth album from this Multi-National band.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute and vocals.

The band, or make that a project, soldiered on after a couple of very good albums. They soldiered on with the usual great album art-works too. These attracted me to this band and I got their albums. This even before I have heard them. Hence the importance of getting the art-works right.

The music on this one hour long album is again a bit of a folk rock take on symphonic prog. The songs are again in the same vein as the Camel album Harbour Of Tears. 

The instrumental pieces here has some fusion influences too in addition of being pretty influenced by Camel. The music is also very elegant throughout with some great guitar solos and licks. The keyboards and vocals is good throughout.

There is also some notable Caravan influences in their music on this album. In other words; Canterbury scene prog.

The music here is very good throughout and this album is cementing my interest in this band. I am being converted into becoming a fan of Proportions.
