Drifting Sun - Drifting Sun (1996)

The debut album from this band from Great Britain.

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

A guest did the vocals on one track.

I have reviewed half of their eight albums in # 1 and # 2 of this blog. I still have three old and their new album to review. I will publish these reviews in the next couple of weeks.

I am off course starting with their debut album. 

The band started out as a neo-prog band. 

The music here is indeed pretty primitive neo-prog with a lot of power pop and post-punk influences.

The music is fast at times and the band is hardly coherent on some of the faster pieces on this three quarters of an hour long album.

There is some cheap neo-classical pieces here too and those sounds pretty bad. The vocals too is pretty sub-standard.

There are some decent pieces here. And some pretty awful pieces. This is not an album I can recommend. Thankfully, the band has massive improved over the years. Thankfully.
