Tea For Two - 101 (2000)

 

The second album from this band from Germany.

The band was a trio with a lineup of guitars, recorder, keyboards, synth-bass, programmed drums and vocals.

Three guests added bass, violin and female vocals on some tracks.

The band returned after a six years long album break. Their debut album Dream Or Reality was reviewed earlier this month and it is a pretty good album.

101 clocks in at fifty minutes.

The music here is neo-prog.

Their take on neo-prog is more in the vein of symphonic prog than the more poppy version of neo-prog. A good reference here is Argos, the German masters of neo-prog. 

There are some short and some long compositions here. They are all well crafted and pretty clever. The music is also elegant and pretty beautiful.

The vocals are also very good throughout. 

 This is a good album and a solid improvement on the debut album. This is indeed an album neo-prog fans should check out.
