Of Petra - Of Petra (2015)

The debut album from this band from UK.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and keyboards.

This album, and their second album, was released as a Bandcamp name your price. The second album is up for review next week.

The music here is fusion with a very strong jazz influence. 

The band and music reminds me a lot about the bands Moonjune Records has released. There is even some good Soft Machine, the Allan Holdsworth era, influences. 

All four instruments gets their say and plenty of room to express themselves. 

The band is obviously more a live band than a record band. Hence the Bandcamp releases and the name your price option. A fair one and that gives the likes of me a chance to get to know this band.

This thirty-seven minutes long album is a mix of a decent and a good album. Fans of fusion should download both albums.
