The debut album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Wow... There is no end to the amount of progressive rock bands from the five million people populated Norway. I had not even heard about this band and album until a couple of months ago. This due to this album getting some poor marketing.... it it ever got some marketing at all.
This is in other words an obscure album. But that does not means it deserve this status.
The music here is mainly eclectic prog with some Canterbury prog influences.
The main references is both King Crimson and Gentle Giant. There is though some early Robert Wyatt influences from the Rock Bottom era.
Some of the music is a bit dissonant and harsh. Other pieces are more light and pastoral.
The vocals is good and the band does a good job too.
The result is a good album who deserve a lot, lot more attention. I hope we will soon get a follow up album as this band is a band with a very good future if they stick together.
