The debut album from this band from USA.
The band was a seven pieces big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, violin, piano, organ, flute and vocals.
Some guests added drums, percussion, guitars, cello, violin, organ, piano and synths.
This band recently released their third and newest album and you can find my review of that album somewhere else in this blog. I have also reviewed their second album in a previous edition of this blog. Hence, I thought it would make sense to also review their debut album.
This seventy minutes long album gives us some really complex and eclectic progressive rock. Blend Jethro Tull with Gentle Giant, Yes and (early) King Crimson. The result would be something like this album.
The music is mostly mid-tempo with some flutes, guitars and keyboards. Add the vocals on the top of this again and you get the music. Music which is a bit quirky throughout.
I am not really won over by this album as the music is somewhere between decent and good. The quality is a bit missing in action. This is still an album and indeed a band well worth checking out.
