Pymlico - Core (2025)

 

The eight album from this band from Norway.

The band was a seven piece big band on this album with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and saxophones.

The band returned again, three years after their seventh album Supermassive.

I have followed this band with interest and have reviewed all their albums. 

The band started out as an instrumental symphonic prog band in the vein of Camel.

Supermassive saw the band change more towards fusion. 

The fifthy minutes long Core sees the band blending instrumental symponic prog with cinematic rock, fusion and jazz. 

The music is dominated by the saxophones who is the main solo-instrument.

The music is a mix of mid-tempo and faster jazz and fusion. 

The music is pretty good throughout. There is not really enough good music here to make this a good album. Hence....

2.5 points
