Sound of Strangers - Crossing Border (2023)

The debut album from this band from the Netherlands.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The band was a cover band, covering symphonic prog classic songs and compositions before they started to write their own songs. Hence this album and a new career as a recording band.

The music is a mix of psych rock, symphonic prog and neo-prog. This means a blend of Pink Floyd, Marillion and some Riverside. 

The music is melodic and pretty clever. The vocals is good and the guitar solos makes me happy as I am pretty fond of guitar solos.

Yes, there is a lot of Pink Floyd in their music. Yes, there is also a lot of David Gilmour hanging around in their music. This is still a good album and the music is pretty original. 

I hope the band will continue to release albums.

Check out this good album.
