ALBUM REVIEW
After the critical acclaim received by "And Life Goes On...", the second album "Play Again" (2006) goes one step beyond. Both more original and personal, this masterpiece is full of intense atmospheres and surprising melodies ! The Floydian influences are still present, but more discrete, through a sense of slowness, a sort of "quiet despair" and melancholy. With worked-out arrangements and sound effects, the band keeps the balance between heavy riffs, delicate guitar arpeggios or piano parts, and airy keyboards. Let's mention a good and expressive singer (English singing), and you'll get the kind of album that is too rarely heard. Sometimes near PORCUPINE TREE's kind of inspiration, THE BLACK NOODLE PROJECT has its own identity. Great stuff!
