Bressler. Bill - A Second Past (2024)

 

The second album from this artist from USA. 

Bill Bressler did drums, percussion, guitars, keyboards, synths, vocoder and vocals here.

He had help from some guests who provided claps, bass, guitars and backing vocals.

Bill Bressler is a musician who has been around the scene for some time. He released his debut album Normal Boy back in 2018. I have yet to sample that album. 

Bill Bressler has been a fan of the great 1970s progressive band for a while and that has motivated him to release his two albums... and hopefully some more albums too.  

The music here on this three quarters of an hour long album is melodic neo-prog greatly inspired by the likes of Yes and in particular Genesis anno their Wind & Wuthering era. 

The music is more melodic than complex and epic. It is also very much based on songs and not so much on epics and long pieces of music.

In short, the songs are short and punchy.

The vocals is really good and a bit like Peter Gabriel's vocals. The music is also well performed.

That makes this a good album and one both neo-prog and symphonic prog fans should check out.
