The debut album from this band from Bahrain.
The band was a seven piece big band with a lineup of drums, percussion, vibes, bass, guitars, piano, organ, minimoog, keyboards, synths and vocals.
This band has released five albums so far. The last one in 2020 and I reviewed it for # 2 of this blog. I quite liked that album.
The band is a neo-prog band. They are the only neo-prog band from that emirate/country and probably the only prog band from the Arabic Peninsula.
There is some more than subtle Arabian influences in their take on neo-prog. But they are not dominating.
Their take on neo-prog is also rooted in the 1970s arena rock and rock sound & scene. The music is also somewhat poppy.
The sound and vocals is good.
The music is not up to scratch yet. As a debut album and the first album from Bahrain in this genre, it is an acceptable debut album and it is well worth checking out.
