Ikarus - Echo (2015)

The debut album from this band from Switzerland.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, piano and vocals.

This band released four albums before they split up. Or they may still be around. I got their albums up for review this winter.

The band is something as unusual as a zeuhl band. This genre is the least populated sub-genre within the progressive rock genre. 

The music is pretty gentle zeuhl and it is leaning towards jazz. 

The music is also dominated by the female voices. Voices but not vocals as there is no words being pronounced or even uttered here.

The music is minimalistic to say at least. It is still pretty effective and melodic.

The quality is somewhere between decent and good.

This is a debut album well worth checking out if zeuhl or jazz is your thing.  

2.5 points
