The fifth album from this band from Sweden.
The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute and voices.
Since their debut album ten years ago, Agusa has been a band well worth following. Not as a fan but as a band who are very talented and delivers some unexpected music. This band is an exciting band, in other words. One of this planet's more interesting progressive rock bands.
Their basis is folk rock. Progressive folk rock. Their music has developed, album by album. What we have got is four pretty unique albums..... So far.
Prima Materia is another pretty unique album. An album with music somewhere between folk rock and psych rock. There are still some Swedish/Scandinavian symphonic prog influences here. But the band has moved more towards psych rock than on previous albums.
Four compositions. The average lenght of the compositions is ten minutes.
The sound is pretty much in the Swedish/Scandinavian symphonic prog vein. Their sound is pretty similar to the like of Kaipa. The music though is different.
The result is another album who confirm their status as one of the most interesting bands in the scene. An album well worth checking out although it is not among their best albums.
