Nexus - Detrás Del Umbral (1999)

The debut album from this band from Argentina.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, organs, synths and vocals.

I have reviewed their last three albums. In this process, I had forgotten to review their first three albums and this is something I am now doing this month.

The band plays symphonic prog. That is symphonic prog with female Spanish vocals and in the vein of Yes and ELP.

The music is very complex at times. It is not overly bombastic and epic. 

The thirteeen songs on this one hour and fifteen minutes long album is a mix of short songs and longer ones. The longer ones is clocking in at just over ten minutes. The shortest one is just over two minutes long. 

The quality is good throughout this album. It is not an eyebrows raising album. But there is some very clever pieces here.

I have always liked Nexus and this debut album is one of the reasons why I rate this band.

3 points
