X Panda - Flight Of Fancy (2011)

 

The debut album from this band from Estonia.

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

Some guests added violin, woodwinds, backing vocals and a children choir.

This band released two albums between 2011 and 2016. Both of them in the progressive metal genre..

... Sort of, that is. The music on this seventy minutes long album is a blend of heavy prog, progressive metal, symphonic prog and fusion.

Most of the music here is instrumental. The sporadic vocals are pretty good. 

Most of the music is both soaring and pretty epic. It has a positive, happy ambience too. The music is mid-tempo to fast most of the time and a lot of it is driven by the keyboards.

The result is a decent enough album which falls a bit short when it comes to quality. Fans of heavy instrumental prog should check out this album.
