The second album from this band from Poland.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.
Mr. Gil is Marek Gil from Collage's solo career. It has released five albums. The latest album was released last year and a review is upcoming this weekend or next week.
Neo prog from Poland is a genre Marek Gil had at least one hand in creating... and defining. Marek Gil and the other pioneers added a melancholic, sad undertone to the neo-prog and Polish neo-prog and the Polish neo-prog scene was born.
That is very much evident on Skellig.
Polish lyrics on the top of a lot of melancholic guitar solos and a melancholic sound. The music is pretty pastoral and not so muscular.
There is a lot of beauty in this sadness.... in the rather sad and downcasted music on this album.
The quality of the songs are sadly not right up where they should be. The sound and the guitars are the saving grace here and makes this a good album.
Check out this album and band.
