Ancient Vision - Lost At Sea (2008)

The third and final album from this band from USA.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, balalaika, mandolin, keyboards and vocals.

Two guests added saxophones and female vocals.

The final album from this band takes them towards US symphonig prog. This is a genre they claimed they belonged to. They sounded much more like early neo-prog on the first two albums than symphonic prog.

We get a concept album here. 

The music is indeed a lot more like US symphonic prog this time around. There are still some pretty primitive early neo-prog hanging around in some parts of their music.

There is also some Pink Floyd influences here with some saxophones and female vocals.

The quality is again not the best. This band never really released a good album. This album is a decent to good album. There are too much mediocre stuff here for me to really rate this as a good album.

Check out this band if US symphonic prog floats your boat and that you are a collector.

2.5 points
