Animator - Gallery (1990)

The one and only album from this band from USA.

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

This band comes from the state of Illinois and labeled their music somewhere beteen IQ and Pallas. Which is not the full picture...

The sound is the 1980s British neo-prog sound. Yes, Pallas and IQ is two good references. But also add a bit Marillion and a large chunk of Rush and Styx too and you get the full picture.

The vocals is good and the sound is decent enough, as it is this not so great 1980s neo-prog sound. The sound is therefore a bit thin and not so beefy.

This sixty-six minutes long album has some pretty decent songs. Eleven pieces of music to be more precise.

This is an obscure album for a good reason: It is not a good album. It is a decent album and only neo-prog fans will really seek the pleasures this album is offering. Their kind of pleasures, that is.

I am not won over by this album, though.
