FLYING CIRCUS

Label: EARLY BIRDS
ALBUM REVIEW
"Out of the Waste Land" sounds much more progressive and complex without giving up the 70ies-like sound the band strives for, and without ruthlessly running down the listener with overcharged pomp…In addition, there is elaborate ensemble playing and a masterly variation of more dynamic and more atmospheric passages. Even some folk touches fit in immensely well. Drawing comparisons is always a bit unfair, because every band strives for its own identity, but sometimes FLYING CIRCUS definitely let early RUSH spring to mind. On the one hand their very good singer Michael Dorp has a vocal range which reminds the listener of Geddy Lee more then once, and on the other hand there are some arrangements and moods that sound as if they were borrowed from the Canadian trio.
