The second album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, xylophones, mallet, bass and keyboards.
This band is a new band to me but I have got three of their six albums and will review them this winter.
This seventy-two minutes long album is one of the weirder albums I have heard this year.
The opening track is a xylophones driven version of the Rush classic Jacob's Ladder. Weird, but still pretty good.
Then we get some of their own material which comes across as a blend of neo-classical music and symphonic prog. Not to mentio eclectic prog. There is a lot of bass and piano here in addition to the xylophones.
The closing track is a cover of ELP's Tarkus... performed on piano. Yes, the full twenty minutes long Tarkus performed by piano. Not even Keith Emerson dared to do this. But this US band has done it and their version is decent enough.
Those into eclectic weird but still melodic music should check out this album. It is a decent enough album which will raise the listener's eyebrows.... a lot.
