Othello Syndrome. The - The Shadow Of Dreams (1999)

The one and only album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a duo with a lineup of bass, guitars, keyboards, vocal emulators and vocals.

The band was supported by three guests who added drums, keyboards, sax and backing vocals.

This project.. or was it a band.... released their album on F2 Records and then disappeared. Their short life is a great shame.

Rob Reed was involved as a guest on this album. Not without any good reasons.

Take Van Der Graaf Generator, Peter Hammill and the likes of Magenta and Cyan... then you get this album.

The music is pretty theatrical throughout. It is also pretty eclectic. It still retains a great deal of neo-prog and the music is melodic.

The sax is used with great effect on the top of some good keyboards and guitars. The vocals is really good too.

There is no great songs here. Nevertheless, this is a good album and one to check out for those into melodic British prog and or neo-prog.

3 points
