The debut album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute and vocals.
This band released two albums between 1986 and 1991. Both of them essentially self-released if I am not mistaken. I will review their second album in some days time.
Suction 8 is a one hour long album.
The music is a blend of neo-prog, folk rock and fusion.
An eclectic blend in other words.
The sound is pretty flat and pretty poor during the first quarter of this album. It improves a bit but not much. The sound quality is my main gripe with this album.
The flutes, guitars and keyboards are very good. The female vocals sounds a bit flat too. They are pretty good but not impressive.
The quality of the music is pretty good too. There is some good stuff here and some decent stuff. This is another album who deserve a remix, remaster and a re-release.
2.5 points
